Titove pjesme

“The manuscript originally titled Titova ulica, compared to other manuscripts submitted to the competition for the ‘Mak Dizdar’ award in 2022, attracted attention with its clear and precisely executed concept. It was a reflection of mature reflection on the topic that the young author tackled. Using a photographic approach, Adnan Bratić took us, like a tourist guide, through places that every city wants to hide from passersby, along a street that runs through the entire city, a street that is the lifeblood of the city itself but also the road that you can use to leave it. It is a street whose life shows us all the contradictions of contemporary society, a street that connects the past and the present and stifles the possibilities of the future. Adnan Bratić managed to portray all of this with concise and sharp poems that focus on everyday and tangible things, but which at the same time point to the unrealized but not impossible. The world depicted is a microcosm of a tired and long-collapsed but never completely built society.
