Topic: Dane Zajc


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  Verse: NEW! Review of Dane Zajc
Considered by many as the greatest living Slovenian poet, Dane Zajc is a founding father of Central Europe’s post-World War II modernism.
Born in 1929, he was exposed to the violent death of his brothers in the war and forced to survive a meager existence in a war-torn country.
Zajc’s lines are almost mantra-like, as if he is repeating the words to himself, in order to stay sane in the midst of tragedy.

 A Search for a Unique Speech
The universe of Dane Zajc is inhabited by war and animals, tranquillity and love, speechlessness, whiteness and silence, fire, ashes and nothingness, solitude, dreams and pain, alienation, snow and the self, language, God and mountains.
Dane Zajc was looking for a unique expression for the traumas of the 20th century - and for his own -, and he found it.
Dane Zajc understands these paradoxes in the same way he understands the balance between pathos and the quotidian, between magic incantation and ironic, cold alienation.

 Barren Harvest: Selected Poems - Dane Zajc
Zajc, born in 1929, is one of Central Europe's most important poets and a founding father of post-World War II modernism.
Having been incarcerated in communist jails, Zajc's political resistance to the dictatorial regime gives his work an urgency that propels the reader into a vertigo of sinister and evil.
His poems speak of the profound solitude that is the destiny of contemporary man, using the vocabulary of the natural world and of bodily sensations to illuminate both the mortal and lethal aspects of the human condition.

 Verse: November 2004
In his new selected works, Zajc, born in 1929 in Slovenia, delivers a history that endured: a world war, the rule of Marshal Tito and the social revolution, the collapse of communism, and the struggle for democracy as Slovenia declared its independence in 1991.
Zajc often employs the use of symbolic colors to adjust his perspective of the landscapes he explores, be it tangible, historical, or religious.
Zajc seems to respect the rift of the world that he lives in, not as a defense mechanism, but out of acceptance of a paradoxical universe.

 Poetry in the Slovene Language
Dane Zajc was obliged to publish his first collection of poems, The Burnt Grass, at his own expense because his poetry had been condemned as being "too somber and pessimistic." The poems of Dane Zajc are marked by a powerful and painful energy, like a cry.
Zajc tells us that we are all victims, but he does not allow us to have the illusion that we are innocent; on the contrary - he shows us that we are also torturers of the others!
Dane Zajc's poems confront us with our human destiny: death; but being mortal, we are at the same time those who give death to others.

Dane Zajc avoids painting a sentimental or idealized picture of the world.
Instead he searches for the deeper meanings of events and in an attempt to understand the world as it is - without the help of ideological, philosophical or religious principles.
Zajc developed his own distinctive voice and vision in the world of poetry by illuminating his immediate surroundings and experiences, which include a childhood marked tragically by World War II.

DANE ZAJC'S FIRST POEMS appeared in 1958, his most recent in 1998.
This new volume, Scorpions, offers a retrospective of his distinctive art and vision in English and French translations, the former including twenty-four poems undesignated as to origin, the remaining fifty-one grouped under the works that first contained them.
Presenting these poems in two major languages, without the original, produces interesting results, for Zajc's poetry, whose repetition of sound and image comes close to surrealism, resonates differently in each language.

The evening was finished off by a longer poem spoken by Tsjebbe Hettinga in his native Fries, a language from the North of Holland which sounded to me a bit like church Latin.
The most entertaining performances of the evening were given by Dane Zajc (Slovenia), Yalvac Ural (Turkey), and Janis Elsbergs (Letland).
Then there was Zajc, the lyric librarian with scruffy beard and cigarette voice who offered "The Smallest Rose," a simple, repetitive poem that very clearly describes the kernel of the mystery, beauty, and complexity of birth and being: It's about love.

Beyond this, the poetry in the collection gives only a taste of some of the rich imagery and even in some cases subtle but clear national pride that resides within much of Slovenian literature.
I recommend Edvard Kocbek ("The Lippizaners", "Song About Man"), Dane Zajc ("You are Not"), Tomaz Salamun ("I and Thou"), Milan Dekleva ("The Origin of Language"), Boris A. Novak ("Interior" and "Exile") and Maja Haderlap ("Nothing Remains").
Much can be said of the Slovenes and their resilience, maintaining a national language, culture and identity despite being somewhat obscured by its own associations.

Generally speaking, mythology, also classical, is frequent in post-war drama, in particular in poetic drama, whose creator during modernism was Ivan Cankar, who combined various fin-de-siecle trends.
Also some of the most prominent Slovenian post-war dramatists and poets wrote poetic dramas, which were basically poetic language spun around the frame of a myth or mythological story: Dane Zajc, Gregor Strnisa and Veno Taufer.
The use of language and choice of topic differ to a certain extent in the works of authors representative of the so-called political drama, e.g.

But his influence is, of course, not an isolated episode in the formative years of the younger generation of Slovene literary artists.
One should add authors, such as Dane Zajc (1929), Gregor Strnisa (1930), Kajetan Kovic (1931), Veno Taufer (1931), Svetlana Makarovic (1939), Niko Grafenauer (1940), Milan Jesih (1950) and Boris A. Novak (1953) as the main 'sources of inspiration'.
It suffices to have a closer look at the last three authors from the list only, to detect how versatile Slovene poetic production really is.

Among modern authors, an exceptional place goes to the master of intimate, autobiographical, almost diary-like prose, Lojze Kovačič (Reality, Newcomers), our fellow countryman from Trieste, Boris Pahor, and the writer and playwright Drago Jančar (The Great Brilliant Waltz, Northern Lights); accompanied by poets Tomaž Šalamun, Dane Zajc, Uroš Zupan and Aleš Debeljak.
