Slovo o cveću: Milosav Tešić

Abstract

Our intention is to provide a new reading of modern Serbian (neo)symbolistic poetry, and the poetry of modern, „green poetics“ guided by Milosav Tesic. We intend to open a new field of modern poetics and aesthetics from the poetics of Momcilo Nastasijevic, to shine the path of neosymbolistic poetry guided by Branko Miljkovic and Ivan V. Lalic, and, in the end to summarise the relationship between this tradition and the writings of Milosav Tesic, in the first place. One of the most frequent word in his poetic system is, certanly, flower, and various species of plants. His „green language“ is close related with author’s intention to create a Dictionary whose lead keywords are flowers (Roses), a dictionary that summons European symbolistic poetry (Malarme, Rilke), the tradition of reading Serbian poetry and a will to create a new type of metaphoric lyric hero – flower.
