ТАЙНАТА ВЕЧЕРЯ
нали не съм аз, Господи да дава на ближния не на войната с апостолите се надвиквахме когато никой не ме гледаше да има за ближния нали не съм аз LAST SUPPER Is it I, Lord along with prodigal son to gift alms to thy neighbor war – nay the apostles and I and as I stood unobserved to feed Is it I TAJNA VEČERA zar nisam ja, Gospode sinoć sa bludnim sinom dati bližnjem ne ratu sa apostolima se nadvikivah dok niko ne gledaše da ima za bližnjeg zar nisam ja Translated to Montenegrin by Anđela Turukalo Dabetić |

Nešto posebno o Vama! |
I was born on the 14th of June 1990 in my mother’s home town Pleven. I grew up between Pleven and Varna, I’ve studied five languages, out of which I managed to learn three and a half. Then I graduated in both Journalism and Law, resectively from Sofia University and from New Bulgarian University. My minor programme was Oriental Studies. I then specialised in Media Law and the role of the media in armed conflicts in Sarajevo and I am pretty sure that my deep interest in the volume and meanings of free speech and in the unattainable simplicity of life was born there and then. Later on, I participated with some of my short stories in the Almanac ‘New Bulgarian Literature’ Prose 2018. A few years ago, I finally managed to leave corporations, corporate ideals, and the stereotyped idea of success and happiness. I am currently the Chief Editor of a feminist online media, I am engaged in social activism and I share anti-authoritarian views. Interested in feminism, ecology, human rights, controversial art, anti-pop culture, mental issues, the origins of languages, the world beyond the status quo, people with presence and history, the phenomenons of entropy… and probably how to make what I just wrote sound less poseur. I consider myself an ambivert and I could not survive without earphones.

Šta je po Vašem mišljenju glavni problem miru u Vašoj državi? Predložite nam rješenja, te kako poezijom donijeti i očuvati mir u svojoj zemji? |
In my opinion, the main problem with peace in my country is a systematic one. There’s social, economic, cultural and political segregation that has been cultivated and reciprocated on purpose over the years by the ruling system, no matter who in particular had represented it by the time. There’s fake news, there’s targeted propaganda, there’s a lot of social injustice and all of this prevents most people from being empathetic critical thinkers. I don’t see this as a problem in my country solely. These days, the solid distinction between countries and nations is more of an issue that is being artificially fed and maintained due to the fact that people are easier to be manipulated and governed if there’s some kind of antagonism between them.
For me, poetry itself and art in general are a subtle way to reach to people’s hearts and relate to everyone’s personal narrative in a way that would find common ground between different approaches to the same basic human values. Poetry expands one’s own personal borders, makes them more flexible and soft. A poem can reach parts of our souls that science and facts cannot. No matter how smart, logical and educated we think we are, our major drive in life is always emotion-related. In view of all this, I believe that the worldwide distribution of a digest with all poems in this competition, divided by topics and not by nations, would be a good idea to demonstrate the variety of approaches and interpretations to the same values and issues, to remind us how similar we can be, and to send a clear political message of peace. |
