Franko Oreb
Sažetak
After completing his seminary education, as well as studying philosophy, physics and mathematics in Vienna, Petar Joković worked as a high school professor in Kotor. Later, he was named director of the Institute for Public Teachers in Arbanasi, Zadar. Professor Joković, PhD was a distinguished figure and a patriot, a supporter of the Croatian political movement, which he wholeheartedly aided financially as well as by being a member in numerous societies with national characteristics. After retirement, Joković lived in Vela Luka, where he participated in the social and cultural life, even acting as a municipal mayor. In addition to his educational-pedagogical work, professor Joković also wrote poetry. A few of his poems were published in Zadar’s newspaper Narodni List. A large number of his poems are contained in a manuscript preserved in his archive in Vela Luka. In this paper, the author discusses, analyses and comments on Joković’s poems of different genres: from occasional and patriotic poems, lyrical love poetry, to poems of mocking and satirical character with political connotations. The most numerous are occasional poems, dedicated to his former professors at Zadar Theological Seminary, friends and prominent and distinguished persons from the public life of Dalmatia. Therefore, the author rightly claims that professor Petar Joković is an outgrowth and a follower of the 19th century poetry of Korčula.
