New poetry collection by Sanja Lovrenčić.
still life: frozen begonias
brush captures the moment:
the stem still looks solid
ice in its heart makes it
apparently alive
while the sun is shining fervently
upon deep-frozen world
you see in the background:
someone left open
the veranda door
in the coldest night
malicious master painter in the picture
on a piece of auxiliary something
delivery box perhaps in which arrived
everything that’s crammed in the corner
is painting the rotting the gray the weary
plants as they will be
in only a few hours –
but not yet
Šest novih igrokaza što ih je prema pričama iz svjetske folklorne baštine priredila Sanja Lovrenčić kratki su, komunikativni i duhoviti predlošci za dječju scensku igru. I odraslima je zanimljivo saznati zašto mačke sjede na kućnom pragu i kakve to veze ima s Noinom Arkom, jesu li sve ptice na početku zaista bile bijele, odakle potječe i što označava izraz staviti soli na rep…
Zanimljive su i didaskalije koje prate igrokaze u ovoj zbirci. Osim uobičajenih i očekivanih informacija o ponašanju lika, načinu obraćanja ili mizansceni, u njima nalazimo i sasvim konkretne scenske prijedloge, a oni su pak bili poticaj za dodatne uredničke naputke o mogućnostima i smjerovima scenskih uprizorenja.
In this book the author, who has already addressed the folklore heritage in various ways, created a vision of a lost world, the customs and beliefs of an ancient people “who herded cattle, spoke some Proto-Slavic language and did not use the alphabet”. Although based on contemporary ethnological knowledge, the stories collected in this book are told in a personal, poetic style, in different voices that seem to appear before readers from the depths of time and guide them through their universe. Portions of ancient folk songs that reflect fragments of forgotten beliefs are also woven into the author’s text. (Anita Peti-Stantic)
Intended for children over 12 and adults.
Sanja Lovrenčić’s book presents biographical texts by anonymous authors from the 13th and 14th century that depicted the lives of troubadours. Medival biographical texts about troubadours are a very old testimony about the interest that lives of artist awakened in their contemporaries. In a time where the only biographies written were those of saints and important rulers, poets are the only group of people that defy that rule – by being written about. Their biographies were written in a language that in medieval times, among others, was called “lenga d’oc”. Today this language is mostly referred to as Occitan, and it is considered to have been Europe’s first literary language after the classical period.
“Istančanošću verbalnog tkiva, sjenovitošću pobuđenih slika, hermetičnošću naslućenih značenja, Sanja Lovrenčić ostvarila je izdvojen, apartan literarni prostor, individualni otočić u arhipelagu suvremenoga hrvatskog pisma…
Stanoviti neoromantičarski ton probija iz naizgled klasicistički organizirane sekvence, ali gospodarska distanca možda je najprikladnija maska za artikulaciju prigušenog krika.” (Tonko Maroević)
In her first poems Sanja Lovrenčić distanced herself in an elitist manner from the descriptiveness of reality and its usual subjects, but now in the collection A River Certainly does Love the Flood she approaches them in a relaxed manner equipped with elements of fairy tales – dreaminess, flax-ness and cotton-ness. Suddenly, for her, everything is utterable, without the pronounced use of the notional labyrinth or the figurative debris prominent with some other writers (…) Sometimes she would reach for the images that are close to a child’s concept of the world. Naturally, it is only an excuse. We are dealing here with a skilful mimicry of childlike tameness and imagination by the complexity and even aggression of adulthood. For our times, the author is really a gentle poet (but not a coy nor a complaining one) who by no means wants to use parasitic additions to make beauty, but neither does she want to use those purely technical, artificial means with “witchcraft” intentions. She is interested in a “walk with pebbles”. In all probably this is what contributed to her being the laureate of the Kiklop Award for the best poetry collection in the year 2007. (Sead Begović)
