PJESNIK BRĐANSKE ZEMLJE, CRNE GORE I DUKLJE
POET OF A HILLSLOPES COUNTRY, MONTENEGRO AND DUKLJA

Summary/Abstract: Having described the activist attitude towards the world and the life of Montenegrin poets from Njegoš onwards, which made Montenegrin poetry engaged, the author writes about a generation of poets, who appeared after the Second World War, and made a major turn towards more subtle, content-rich, more thoughtful and modern poetic currents, tangibly influenced by modern poetry of other European nations, which helps them to establish a different relationship with traditional poetics. In addition to activism and engagement, there is also a radical, organic attachment to the word, to the most responsible attitude towards it, towards what one wants to express. The word here is not only an aesthetic, but also an ethical category. As a specific feature of Montenegrin poetry, the author of the article emphasizes the language, rich vocabulary, concise and fresh expression and especially - a deep belief in the power and role of poetry. The central part of the work is dedicated to the poetry of Jevrem Brković, who, despite numerous thematic circles, constantly confirmed that he is a poet of the hillslopes country, Montenegro, and Duklja. Almost every poem of his books is dedicated to Montenegro, created as a poetic metaphor of the Hills and the their land, real and possible, mythical and historical, eternal, recognizable in consciousness and imagination, in space and time
