The book earned him the Ko\u010do Racin Prize, became the first book by a Macedonian author to be translated into Slovene (Zlij se s ti\u0161ino<\/em>), and prompted the Slovene literary critic Fran Petr\u00e9 to claim that it heralded the birth of true lyric poetry in Macedonia. Yet when it was published in November 1955, the book reignited the debate between “modernists” and “realists,\u02ee a dispute that had begun three years earlier with the collection\u00a0Verses of Suffering and Joy<\/em>.\nThus, while Dimitar Mitrev praised the book as a “poetry of lasting values,” marked by “lyrical density and synthesis” and by “metaphorical clarity,” Milan Gjur\u010dinov criticized it for what he called a “disintegrated poetic thought,” “mere prosaicisms,” and “improvisations in which it is difficult to grasp any clearly articulated idea.” Stardelov, for his part, spoke approvingly of a “poetry of small beauties,” whereas Solev denounced the “short poetic form,” arguing that within it “the poet’s qualities fail to come fully into view.”\nA few years later, a peace of equals<\/em> was reached.\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"\u0413\u0440\u0443\u043f\u043d\u0430\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u0413\u0440\u0443\u043f\u043d\u0430 \u043a\u0430\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0442\u0443\u0440\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u043c\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0434\u043e\u043d\u0441\u043a\u0438 \u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0438 \u043e\u0434 \u0412\u0430\u0441\u043b\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u043f\u043e\u0432\u0438\u045c – \u0426\u0438\u0446\u043e, 1956 (\u0414\u041f\u041c).\n\tFurther information about this book is available on the Macedonian version of this page.\nAbout ten poems from this collection have been translated into English.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAccess to the English translation of the poems\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBack to the original \u0160opov’s books\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
