The latest poetic collection by Uroš Zupan, one of the most prominent poets of a younger generation in Slovenia, titled “Slow Sailing”, unlike weary melancholic atmosphere of contemporary poetry, brings concrete hands-on, life experience – immediate, clear and deeply felt – of a poetic self that brings life and in its peculiar and affluent individual letter transforms an imminent, life-experiencing cognition into an open dialogue with the world surrounding the poet. Thus Uroš Zupan uses banal trifles of a quotidian life – television commercial programmes, short journalistic reports, unwashed coffee cups – to create his own unique world where he spreads out a specific poetic landscape which the poet paints with vivid, extrovert, communicative, sometimes provocative, but always, remaining true to himself, explicitly lyrical language in which every item in the objective world can become an object of subtle, poetic reflections thus enabling a world where the object world reflects in the mirror of metaphors and hidden, encrypted meanings a poets reveals by close inspection and then turns into a language through lyrical passages and an abundance of polysemantics at various levels of poetic expression.
