K osudom a najma k prinosom Trnavskej skupiny – konkretistov

Abstract

The paper first conveys factual information on the history of the Trnavian group – concretists, and their books of poetry published in years 1956 - 1973. The author further reconstructs signs of the group’s poetics, which was so compelling and suggestive that it inspired all following generations of Slovak poets. The interpretative part of the study focuses on neo avant-garde experiments with narrative techniques, although in connection with this poetry group were more often discussed terms like metaphor, figurativeness and rhyme. They contributed to Slovak narration in poetry by using figurative and even ornamental introductory sentences and figurative dialogues with fantastic or bizarre replies. Among other things, they also implemented into poetry the techniques used in prose by Milo Urban, writer belonging to Slovak naturism in the 1920s. Their works are connected with foreign literary contexts – e.g. F. G. Lorca, T. Rożewicz, I. Ritsos, E. L. Masters, R. Jeffers, V. Holan.
