SIDRANOVA POETIČKA SAMOPORICANJA
SIDRAN'S POETIC SELF-DENIAL

Summary/Abstract: Collision of poetic extension and intensity op poetic alienation was key determinant of poetry which Abdulah Sidran wrote until the 1990-ies. By striving to accomplish „correctness and accuracy“ of poems, the author revealed a reliable and effective resource – non-fictional texts, historic documents with which his poetry established fruitful metacreative relationship. Te consequence of that was for postmodern literature the typical second or even third degree referencing to reality. Events from the beginning of 1990-ies made Abdulah Sidran move away from his programme poetics. Intelectual distance as a basis of his „ideology of truth“ became ethical controversy for him. Hiperemotional reaction to evil and huge war crimes displaced the sophisticated interspace of Alexandrian universe and forced a straightforward relationship with facts from reality as a moral imperative. In that sense poetic revisionism is conspicuous on all key levels of poetic structure from metaphors, figures of speech and degrees of affection to criteria of selecting material and contents of reality as potential ingredients of the world of poems. Confessional tone in his poems, which could be seen in his previous works, now became their constitutive dominant.
