The Universal Paradigm of Loss and Trauma
The Universal Paradigm of Loss and Trauma

Summary/Abstract: The affluence of modern poetry is reflected, more than anything, in the abundance of perspectives, poetic choices that allow for the questioning of the existential as well as communicational interspaces, all with one goal: to mirror one’s own time with all of its problems, dilemmas, questions, and spectrums of possible answers. Everything but the definitiveness of an answer is possible and allowed, and this is what makes poetry, from modernity until today, a space in which we test and try the very matter to which science and pragmatic subsistence persistently try to offer unambiguous answers, neglecting at that the consequences of such definitiveness, the victims of totality offering themselves as final solutions. One of the forms of the final solution we face all too often is, undoubtedly, the war, especially in this region where many wars have started, yet none of them, it seems, have ended.
