Summary/Abstract: The paper attempts to provide a comprehensive view of the poetic work of Milosav Tešić starting with the poetic justification of his consistent choice to sing in a metrically organized verse, which requires many metric innovations as well as singing in constant stanza forms. We analyze the developmental path of Tešić’s poetic opus, which has been marked with thematic shifts and extensions, in the light of a developed poetic and cultural awareness. Milosav Tešić has long been recognized as a poet of the encyclopaedic orlexicographic paradigm. Tešić’s linguistic intersection is simultaneously an intersection of cultures, whose language is the medium of national culture as a space of the wide and widest cultural space. Poetic heritage is also discovered in that intersection as an image of continuous dialogue between similar voices in the mill of existence and encounters. What is the effect of this constant research? A renewed and restored metric repertoire (as opposed to predictability and static), an impressive lexical fund deduced from the passive with occasional poetic neologisms, a language branched out and playful diachronically and contemporarily, an unusual but controlled poetic imagination and impressive cultural symbols embodied both in very short and very long forms. Milosav Tešić is a supreme author who synthesizes many constructive efforts of the dynamic past century in Serbian poetry.
