How five Slovenian women poets tear apart frames to find their speech

Siegel Carlson, Barbara (author)

Censorship continues to exist in many ways and forms in Slovenian poetry. This paper will look at some of the work of five critical female voices in Slovenian poetry: Maja Vidmar, Meta Kušar, Miriam Drev, Barbara Korun, and Alenka Jovanovski, focusing on the way they, in Jovanovski’s words »tear apart frames […] to behold [the] heart« offering their revelations as a form of spiritual resistance against the realities which might otherwise silence them.

Abstract

Cenzura se v slovenski poeziji še vedno pojavlja na različne načine in v različnih oblikah. Prispevek obravnava dela petih kritičnih ženskih glasov v slovenski poeziji: Maje Vidmar, Mete Kušar, Miriam Drev, Barbare Korun in Alenke Jovanovski, pri čemer se osredini na način, kako razdirajo okvire, da bi videle, kaj je v srcu – kot pravi Alenka Jovanovski v pesmi Razdreti okvire –, ko ponujajo svoja razkritja kot obliko duhovnega odpora proti resničnosti, ki bi jih sicer lahko utišala.
