The article analyses the poem Ljubav reče greva (Luv Says Let’s Go) by Nina Dragičević. Basic literary interpretation is broadened by assessing of the role of a poet and his/her work as portrayed through the poem. By integrating this theme into the poem, I argue, the author brings about the socio-political status of literary artists, who are still to some extent entrapped within the supranational and timeless Prešeren structure. The article is concluded by an assessment through performative theory and offers a socially proactive outlook.
