IMAGINATIVE REFLECTIVE SPEECH IN VESNA PARUN’S POETRY

Summary/Abstract: Vesna Parun’s poetry collection Vjetar Trakije was published in 1964. It is related to the Bulgarian part of Parun’s civil and creative biography. It abounds in longer poems and miniatures united by Parun’s poetics of Mediterraneanism and neosymbolism. As one of the stylistic markers of poetic speech in the poems’ formation, we singled out the imaginative reflection that shapes parts, and sometimes entire poems. It is one of the points of poetic discourse, i.e. its content and style. In this paper, we will analyze reflection as an expression that is not as such represented in traditional theories of literature, but is derived from philosophy (Cassirer) and individual literary theoretical analyses (Freidenberg, Stamać). Its imaginative performance rests on pictorial syntax and semantics, and its meaning is based on the mental presentation of the subject world in the poem. We divide it by subject fields and content, and analyze it using literary stylistic procedures.
