| Abstract [eng] |
One of the most interesting poems by Burokas from the point of the subject of the market is the first poem from Ideograms. The situation of the book fair acquires the post-modern form of a quarrel like the mystery of (pseudo)religious, metaphysic powers. The author and his image, the book, the reader, and the word in general get into the net of valuable convention (the bargain with a devil, hagiographic and biblical allusions). Commercial environment is like an inevitable condition for the author’s popularity and on the whole for his being. The multimeaningful identity of I as an author, reader, and modern saint is developed in all Ideograms. The aspects of authenticity and modelling, life and death, flesh and spirit, pain and euphoria interact in it. Both modern authors have similarity with the images of the market and with the wider symbolism in Alfonsas Nyka-Niliūnas’ poetry. |
