Pjesma u dijalogu / Dialogue poetry

‘Pjesmu u prozi’ možemo dosta često sresti, taj kratki književni oblik koji u sebi objedinjuje osobine poezije i proze, koje se u teoriji književnosti tradicionalno razmatraju kao odvojeni književni rodovi. U proučavanju poezije ‘pjesma u prozi’ obično se stavlja uz ‘slobodni stih’, jer, kao i on, znači modernistički pokušaj razgradnje tradicionalnih lirskih oblika.

A kako bi izgledala ‘pjesma u dijalogu’? Danas dijelimo primjer ‘pjesme u dijalogu’ iz neobjavljene zbirke pjesama Pontu ne dodiruješ.

You surely know of ‘prose poetry’, a short literary form that combines the features of poetry and prose, which in literary theory are traditionally considered as separate literary genres. In the study of poetry, ‘prose poetry’ is usually placed next to the ‘free verse’, because, just like it, it means a modernist attempt to decompose traditional lyrical forms.

And what would a ‘dialogue poetry’ look like? Today we are sharing an example of a ‘dialogue poetry’ from an unpublished collection of poems named Never touching the stone beach shore.
