Summary/Abstract: The paper offers insight into the poetic stance of the unjustifiably marginalized poet Jovan Sundečić and it analyzes the dominant artistic features of his vast poetic opus. The presentation of Sundečić’s poetics took into consideration his poems that talk of poetic creation as well as the texts on this topic. Sundečić’s poetic opus is analyzed with respect to the dominant complexes of the thematic and motive axes, linguistic particularities, artistically recognizable elements and frequent changes that his creative opus went through during several decades. A special focus in this paper put on Sundečić’s study on Božidar Petranović, which occupies a prominent place in the opus of this priest, diplomat and poet. At the same time, the paper indicates various forms of reception of Sundečić’s diverse work and mentions possible causes for the neglect of his opus in Serbian literary history.
