Z rastlinstva / From the Plant Kingdom

The archetype of winter and the aesthetics of disappearance dominate the collection of poetry, which is divided into three sections and smaller cycles. The rich representation of plant-animal motifs in synergy with the human is an attempt to recapture existence in its totality, reaching out to a cosmic soul that includes the gradually disappearing individual being. The return to Sappho is a return to the pure sources of poetry, to the source of beauty and eternity. The approaching of God (death) and the simultaneous unresigned intensification of life as a thickening inward represent the two basic movements of the book. These, however, do not act in opposition but in fusion; the final gesture is surrender to what is to come.
