On Friday, August 9th<\/sup><\/strong> at 9PM<\/strong>, this year\u2019s literary programme is to continue at the \u201cPoets\u2019 Square\u201d<\/strong> with the guest for the evening being Nenad \u0160aponja<\/strong>. He is to present to the audience his latest book of poetry The Psychology of Gravity<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ilija Baki\u0107 said the following about the aforesaid book: \u201cAs is the case with his previous books of poetry, \u0160aponja\u2019s poetic expression is very distinctive. Namely, his verses are precise whilst the metaphors and the pictures they create are subtle. Entering into the spheres of ideas and principles ranging from aesthetical to philosophical ones to which the poet is dedicated, calls for one to be actively involved in poetry analysis and the stepping away from all that\u2019s material.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nenad \u0160aponja is a poet, essayist and literary critic whose verses are recognizable in the contemporary Serbian poetry for being hermetic in addition to their stylistic perfection and metaphysical insights.<\/p>\n

In the area of literary criticism, he is a proponent of the Post-Modernist poetics and idiosyncratic approach to literary works. This ,however, entails taking on literature as a lifestyle. For ten years, he was a literary critics writer for the \u201cPolitika\u201d daily newspaper. Besides poetry and literary critics, his work encompasses the area of short stories and travel writing prose. In 2012, he founded the \u201cAgora\u201d publishing company. It is now one of the most influential publishers in Serbia, holding an unchanging leadership position in the field. This is all owing to its broad area of interest when it comes to the material published and its quality as well. Over 500 published editions bare his signature as both editor-in-chief and publisher. It goes without saying that the plethora of books published by \u201cAgora\u201d are richly deserving of the highest literary awards they have been given.<\/p>\n

\u0160aponja has published the following poetry collections till now: Giokonda<\/em><\/strong>, Mirror in Two Souls<\/em><\/strong>, Obviousness<\/em><\/strong>, The Sea<\/em><\/strong>, Four Poems<\/em><\/strong>, Sweet Death, Is There a Touch of Your Soul<\/em><\/strong>, I seem, therefore I am Not<\/em><\/strong>, I descend into the Silence the Weight of a Thrown Dice<\/em><\/strong> and The Psychology of Gravity<\/em><\/strong>.
