The Dark Side of Art
The Dark Side of Art

Summary/Abstract: In this analysis, Donika Dabishevci’s poetry is discussed, which communicates with the reader through primordial signs of love. This kind of communication is not only defiant but scandalous for two reasons: first, because of the extreme erotism; second, the gynocentric articulation. So, not only for what and how the poet says it, but even because it is said by a female, by a woman. While the motives and style are artistic and cultural choices, the positioning of the speaker’s voice is constructed on biological and natural grounds. Through the structure of oneiric signage, the poet disturbs, experiments, and rejects schemes and standards in language, literature, and society.
