QUARTETS TO READ, WATCH, SING, AND LISTEN TO (2010)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Quartets -to Read, Watch, Sing, and Listening to” is a collection with an intermedial character. This visual poetry, with its linguistic (sonic and graphic) solutions, poetic ludism, and allusion to the essential dilemmas of our existence captured in a subtle and laconic way, the eros of life, its citationality, and associativeness, is characterized by a “cosmopolitan orientation imbued with the purity and lightness of an almost childlike view of the world,” as the great author and critic Vlada Uro\u0161evi\u0107 says.
