There is a characteristic lucidity in the poetry of Jelena Dinić: in how she experiences the world and fosters a flowing, expansive insight into phenomena of existence through stanzas. Her images invite you to re-envisage equations between lived time and continuing currents of being. When Jelena writes that “the sky takes the last look,” what direction or position of knowledge is the poet pointing us to? What (and how) does the poet want us to see? What motive vision would such phenomenological process illume?
