Oksimoron – Oxymoron

Poetry Shortlisted for the National Literature Prize, Category of Poetry, Ministry of Culture. This poetry collection delves into the profound interplay of oxymoronic elements, illuminating the inherent dualities of the human psyche: life and death, darkness and light, moon and sun, consciousness and unconsciousness, myth and demythification, love and absence, memory and oblivion, white and black. It further explores oxymorons of solitude and colors—blue, velvet, yellow—crafting a poetic landscape rich in suspense, contrast, and imagery. This invites readers into an active engagement of contemplation and interpretation, navigating through texts that are fluid, visionary, and almost hallucinatory in nature. The collection offers delicate explorations of modern poetry, drawing influences from French surrealist authors and contemporary Greek poets. Yet, it maintains an authentic voice that touches upon the boundaries of trance and mediumistic states. The juxtaposition of opposites, particularly resonant within the feminine soul, generates significant tension as they collide, with the poetry seeking equilibrium amidst this dynamic. Here, the lyrical self transcends specific locales or temporal confines, existing instead in realms of emotional pearls and seahorses, cold fires and hot glaciers, within the boundless expanse of ethers.
