Sažetak

Sister Mary of the Sacred Heart – Anka Petričević, is a contemporary Croatian lyric and lyrical epic poetess with over thirty collections of poems in which she celebrates God, writes about her longings and exhilarations, and recounts eternal love. Her concept of love is the nearness of God, eternal, divine love, agape; the love that leads to salvation, ascension and union with the mystical bridegroom, which excludes and removes the thought of sensual lust and intimate, love poems rooted in erotic breath and sensation. Her poetry is above religiousness itself, it is equivocal and universal, not merely religion or philosophy of life. Her recent collection, Poems of the heart, brings forth sequences of shortened verses and halfverses with the right indented form, establishing to perfection a special architectonics we call lyric poems of virtual stanzas. The spatial arrangement serves the overall organisation of the poem; rhythmical, semantic and experiential. Poems of the heart form a distinct poetic speech, unique in Croatian poetry between two millennia, giving us a gift of sublime culmination: lyrics, a song, prayer tone and fervour, cadences of pain and cantilenas of ardent craving, a celebration of purity and harmony. Her lyrical epic poetry is not to be neglected, particularly the poem Apocalypse, confirming her status of the poetess of the revelation of knowledge and the end of the world, poetess vates, as well as her patriotic poems.
