Sažetak
The reception of Koroman’s poetry changed due to reading habits, taste of time, influence
of certain poetic schools, uniformity of critical thinking, distance from native Croatian
literature and complex cultural and political circumstances, and will answer the question
of how the horizon of expectations and aesthetic distance have been affected by changes
in critical reception from the perception of Koroman as a native poet to contemporary
readings that shed new light on Koroman as a metaphysical poet.
Previous researches on Koroman’s poetry can be divided into those that systematically approach
his poetics and attempt to discover language and versification features, and those
that engage into his poetic work in the form of literary history essays, prefaces and articles
for newspapers and magazines, but all confirm that Koroman’s poetics asserted itself as a
unique entity in terms of language and versification.
In 2017, Veselko Koroman’s poetic opus was collected in an edition that combines the
12 books of poetry already published with unlisted poem collections that were printed in
magazines and other publications, in chronological order of their appearance. The reader’s
experience of the last book of poetry Bit ću negdje, in 2022, will examine the author’s
correspondence with his own work, exploring Koroman’s poetics in the context of the present
moment and establishing connections that measure its changes and complexifications,
especially those in earlier collections of certified poetic passages that the poet recreates over
and over again in a more recent collection of poems. This approach to Koroman’s poetic
substance will analyze poetic processes that either affirm its organic unity with his own
literary tradition or deny its poetic canons, which will ultimately provide a better insight
into the understanding of his poetry.
