POET I REVOLTËS EKZISTENCIALE DHE I DHIMBJES SUBLIME (Portreti krijues i Ali Podrimjes)
POET OF EXISTENTIAL REVOLT AND SUBLIME PAIN (Creative portrait of Ali Podrimje)

Summary/Abstract: The literary creativity of the national poet Ali Podrimja extends over a period of more than half a century. This creativity begins at the time when Albanian literature in the former Yugoslavia, which had started to be published immediately after the Second World War (it had just entered its second decade), was created under strict state censorship. In the second half of the 50s of the twentieth century, when Podrimja began his literary creativity, in Pristina, after several years of publishing in newspapers and magazines, the publication of special poetic volumes and books with stories and plays had also begun. At this time, under the influence of the literature he read, as a fifteen-year-old, the young poet Ali Podrimja began to publish in the literary magazine "Jeta e re" and in the youth magazine "Zani i rinis". Ali Podrimje's creativity, apart from the first stage, experienced all the other stages of development that Albanian literature in the former Yugoslavia went through: the second stage, when Albanian literature continued to be subject to strict state censorship and the stages that came after it, the stages of aesthetic emancipation and modernization. Podrimja wrote both prose and essays, of a special style, but until the end of his life he remained faithful to poetry. He started his creation as a poet of the suburbs, to finally reach the proportions of the national creator. In his poetry, the fragmented homeland is created and recreated and takes the clear form of natural Albania. In this potry, both the national space and the Albanian man have taken their place, to finally get the view of the universal space and the human universe.
