Sažetak
Early essay by Zoran Kravar “Lyric Poetry and Knowledge” (1972) is viewed in light of contemporary poetry production and critical writing in order to test suitability and validity of his theses on the lyric as a specific type of speech which cannot be either analysed or grasped by instruments of cognitive reasoning. The latter is defined by logical and causal connections, as well as the grammatical structure, whereas the lyric abandons this procedure of understanding of the world and turns to observing materiality of language. Moreover, a comparative reading of Kravar’s and Derrida’s essay “Che cos’è la poesia?” (1988) is undertaken with a reference to a book of poetry Knjiga praznika (2022) by Marko Pogačar. What connects these texts is a metaphor of poetry as a hedgehog, resisting more than one bleak diagnoses of lyrics’ downfall due to technological progress and avant-garde projects of conflating poetry and life. Pogačar manages to poetically move forwards by simultaneously distancing himself from the so-called “realist” poetry and reactivating traditional modernist devices such as apostrophe, euphonic features of words, obscurity of language, intertextuality and elitist literary communication between the text and the reader.
