Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the creation, non-communication and communication of Zef Zorba. His creation and non-communication belong to the communist era, while communication has been achieved under democracy. Perceiving Zorba as a hermetist and elitist poet, Shllaku sees the verse as closely bound up with the poet’s destiny and with existentialist philosophy. Accordingly, the piece analyses the craftsmanship of the poet together with the fate and philosophy of his poetry. Finally, the author offers a personal analysis of the work Lips Frozen in Joy [Buzë të ngrira në gaz].
