Yugen

 

On 15/07/2007 Valentin Dishev - decided to create the poetic form Yugen, inspired by the aesthetics of Yugen in the No Theatre. Listed below is Dishev's background:

  • Phd in Philosophy graduated Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski;

  • one of the co-founders, first director and editor-in-chief of the Publishing House Critique and Humanism (1990);

  • an editor of Radio Blagoevgrad program of Bulgarian National Radio;

  • author of specialized and poetic texts in many prestigeous magazines,

  • as well as author of the project Four, published in four (mainly) poetic books

Here's a quote from his article dedicated to the new poetic form:

"Yugen" should be only a horizon, a support for the glance, clearly discernable, but defining not so much the unattainable afterlife but the tonality of the experienced “here”.

and:

"to create texts (only in two distiches, each with two full meaning lexical units) in which “literal “ and “symbolic” meanings, work together".

As an experimenter, I took the challenge when writing my Associative Thoughts. Below I offer you my different point of view. Probably I'm too far from the classics in this form, but how to learn if not giving a try?

Yugen

 

A bee fluttered
Hives on fire
Пчела прехвърча
Подпалени
кошери
The leaves are turning yellow
I missed the yellow water
Жълтеят листата
Изпуснах
жълтата вода
The wind’s wailing
Summer bypassed it
Вятърът вие.
Лятото го подмина
A bird in cage
Disabled talent
Птица в клетка
Осакатен
талант
