The oppressed and devoted poet

Joja Ricov

Abstract

The author attempts to assess the poetic works of the poet Ante Jakšić, commenting upon several of Jakšić's poems from the collections "Pjesme o sinu čovječjemu" (Poems fo the Son of Man, 1965) and "Pod pješčanim satom" (Under the Hourglass, 1975). The author calls attention to the delicacy of Jakšić's style interwoven with impressionism and symbolism. Although Jakšić was oppressed by the times in which he wrote and lived, the author considers him to have remained a romantic devoted to the values of the Christian heritage.
