	Mak Dizdar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mak (Mehmedalija) Dizdar (Stolac 1917–Sarajevo 1971) was a Bosniak poet, considered one of the greatest Yugoslav poets of the second half of the twentieth century.
		After the war, Dizdar was a prominent figure in cultural life of Bosnia and Herzegovina, working as the editor-in-chief of the daily Oslobođenje, head of a few state-sponsored publishing houses and, finally, as a professional writer and the President of Writers' Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina, until his death.
		Dizdar's vision of life and death expresses, paradoxically, both Gnostic horror of corporeality and a sense of blessedness of the entire earth and Universe.

		Mak (Mehmedalija) Dizdar (Stolac 1917-Sarajevo (Sarajevo: Capital and largest city of Bosnia; scene of the assassination of Francis Ferdinand in 1914 which precipitated World War I) 1971) was probably one of the greatest Bosniak (Bosniak: more facts about this subject) poets of the 2nd half of the 20th century.
		On the contrarary, as a testimony to the astonishing potentiality of human beings to ovecome their fixations and stereotypes they themselves have allowed to become petrified within, Dizdar has, in just a decade and a half prior to his death, produced unique and powerful poetic oeuvre no one would have expected to appear.
		Mak Dizdar also fought against forced influence of the Serbian language on the Bosnian langugage, as Dizdar called it, in his article "Marginalije o jeziku i oko njega", Zivot, XIX/11 - 12, Sarajevo, 1970, 109-120.

		To reflect Dizdar's medieval source of inspiration, Jeleskovic has turned to Bosnia's traditional folk tunes and dances for his accompaniment.

		Medieval Tombs, Landscape, and Bosnian Identity in the Poetry of Mak Dizdar
		Mak Dizdar's life and work, as well as the ensuing events leading to the break-up of the former Yugoslavia, offer a textbook example of a cultural figure who looms central in the historical, political, and cultural imagination of a people.
		In treating the medieval tombstones as sites of collective memory, Dizdar's poetry evokes new possibilities for Bosnians to cast aside national differences based primarily on religion and embrace a pluralistic identity rooted in the sacred landscape of medieval Bosnia.

		The first is a brilliant study of the works of the Bosnian poet Mak Dizdar by Amila Buturovic, a professor of religion and humanities at York University.
		It is a great introduction to Dizdar as well as a beautifully written study of Bosnian culture.
		It would be a much better introduction to the country, for somebody interested, than almost any of the books by journalists who were there during the war and that clutter the shelves of bookstores.

	International Forum Bosnia - BOSNIAN PARADIGM - THE SECOND PANEL DISCUSSION - Francis R. Jones
		Those who read the languages of former Yugoslavia know Mak Dizdar as one of the most vibrant and original voices in post-war European poetry.
		As the English translator of Dizdar’s Kameni spavač (Stone Sleeper)ą, in this paper I examine the key issues surrounding the translation of his work.
		The main barrier, however, has been his very poetic talent: the originality, formal complexity and multi–voiced nature of his verse have presented translators with a formidable challenge.

	New Balkan Politics - Issue 1
		The second window examines the ancient wisdom in the poetry of Mak Dizdar as expressed in his renowned Stone Sleeper, permeated with the traditions and spirituality of the Bosnian Church.
		This medieval Church, independent from both Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, and under pressure from both, no longer survives, and it seems that many of its followers, over the years and even centuries that followed the arrival of the Ottomans, embraced Islam as more congenial to them than either eastern or western Christianity.
		The Bosnian Church may no longer exist, but its spirit, as the author demonstrates through Dizdar’s masterpiece, still permeates the Bosnian, and specifically the Bosniak (or Bosnian Muslim) mind and culture.
