Zore i vihori

Vesna Parun

Vesna Parun's debut poetry collection marked a turning point in post-war Croatian literature. The collection was met with negative reactions from socialist realist critics at the time, who declared it apolitical and decadent due to its subjective and lyri

Thematically, the collection contrasts youthful joy, love, and nature with war, death, and suffering. Parun uses rich poetic language, free and bound verse, and powerful metaphors to express personal emotions and experiences. Motifs of nature, childhood, and love intertwine with reflections on war and its consequences, creating a contrast between the beauty of life and its fragility.

The collection is significant because, with its lyrical approach and introspective themes, it paved the way for new poetics in Croatian literature, moving away from the then dominant socialist realist approach. Dawns and Whirlwinds remains a lasting testament to the power of personal lyricism and resistance to ideological norms.
