The Lighting is weak

„(…) Zivlak’s Konchetistic uncapitalized poetry is a reflection of possibilitis of a critical poem that cuts and unites, answers the questions of existence by expressing the existence as existence in history and as a short-term possibility of escaping into non-historical. Poetic narcissism is replaced by serious questioning a characteristic trait of modernist poetry, here additionally refined by postmodern criticisms of consciousness. Even besides all the impotece and horrors before the dark forces lurking from ambush in this world of ours and can alienate it, does a real piece of art seem like such secretive liberation? It is a great success that, without flying to the Promethean heights, in Zivlak’s hands, poems manage to behave as short-term liberated territories, as instruments using which one can criticize the complex nature of our knowledge.“
Vladimir Gvozden
