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?
