Topic: Vasko Popa


  
  Metroactive Books | Czeslaw Milosz
Several of the students came up to Popa, but most of them spoke neither Serbo-Croat nor French, and, his interpreter lost somewhere in the crowd, soon Vasko was ensconced alone on a sofa with a glass of red wine in either hand.
He and Vasko had been in the resistance against the Nazi invaders in their separate countries, neither one knowing about the other, but both engaged in a common cause.
He and Popa shared a brotherly bond that was welded together by history—and blood.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Poets Vasko Popa
VASKO POPA, now considered the most prominent Yugoslavian poet, was born in 1923, and so belongs to that generation of Eastern European poets who endured World War II when they were young; Ted Hughes, writing on Popa in Tri-Quarterly, has documented their response to what they witnessed during those years:
At a time when the impulses of surrealism were everywhere enacting a loud rage against aesthetics, insulting whatever vestiges were left of art, the temptation must have been to succumb or to fall silent.
What poets like Popa proposed was no less than a program of animalism, in which the landscape moves as if it were an animal, in which what is most alive is the articulation of non-human speech.

 Amazon.com: Collected Poems of Vasko Popa: Books: Vasko Popa,Anne Pennington,Francis R. Jones,Ted Hughes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
I discovered Popa by listening to the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago audiotape, "The Yawn of Yawns: On the Psychology of Revelation--An Exploration of the Poetry of Vasko Popa" by Josip Pasic.
Anne Pennington, the primary translator, worked very closely with Popa until her death in 1981 (in fact, the first poem is a tribute to her).
She strove to communicate Popa's unique imagery and themes, not to hold on to rhythms and sounds solely belonging to the original.

 Vasko Popa Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Vasko Popa is a poet of towering stature in contemporary Yugoslav literature.
His poetic achievement--eight slim volumes of verse written over a period of thirty-eight years--has received extensive critical acclaim both in his native land and beyond, in Europe and the United States, where his works, which have been widely translated, have reached a remarkably diverse audience.
Popa, who often spent years working on a single book, was not a prolific poet; yet with each of his eight collections he channeled the development of contemporary poetry in Yugoslavia in new directions.

VASKO POPA - A SHEPHERD OF WOLVES ?
The incomparable Vasko Popa wrote a few (some of his least wonderful) poems about The Field of Blackbirds and the miraculous (but fruitless) appearance of St Sava in the sky.
Wry Serbians love to say that Popa wrote the most beautiful Serbian because he was half-Romanian: he came from a small village on the Serbian-Romanian border.

 Stone for an Eye : Karen Craigo
“These ‘stone’ poems by Karen Craigo are reminiscent of W. Merwin’s deep image poems or Vasko Popa’s surrealist ‘pebble’ poems.
She manages to create and sustain a complex and shifting personal mythos without sacrificing the mystery and evocative force of the focusing image.
Popa’s ‘pebbles’ chanted a mean, gutteral, one-syllable song, but Craigo’s ‘stones’ belt out whole operas.
