VERSES OF PASSION IN VIOLETA ALLMUÇA’S POETRY – REVIEW
JANUARY 4, 2014 PETER TASE LEAVE A COMMENT
By Peter Tase
A high desire to write, enthusiasm for literature, vibrant rhythmic verses and establishment of a wide interaction between men and nature, are the fundamental pillars in Violeta Allmuçaj’s poetry. As one of a handful of contemporary women writers that are extremely talented, Violeta has acquired a high reputation from her magnificent prose and prolific writing in many of her novels that have been widely popular in the Balkans. Violeta’s creative writing and profound verses have won her various prizes in literature such as the 2nd Prize in the “Drini Poetik” Kosovo International Poetry Festival (2012), for a poem titled Metafora II” (“Metaphor II”); 2nd Prize by the League of Albanian Writers in Skopje, for her volume of poetry “Jetoj me Zjarrin” (“Living with Fire”) published in Albania (2000). “Living with Fire” was considered as one of the five most popular books in the Republic of Macedonia, in Albanian Language in 2000.
Violeta’s verses intertwine human life with surroundings, sadness with joy, style with metaphors and human – animal bondage. In her “Every Day,” Violeta accentuates: “I purchased early the morning newspaper paper/ the cat is dancing with her tail / her unique friend is a human /
I wait for a missing voice /she sits above my knees / We both graze words with our nails / until every day is dissolved.” Such a connection between humans and animals is always been a prevalent lifestyle in Albania, immediately after the fall of Berlin Wall, Albanian’s saw that, in Western Societies in Europe and United States, humans were as connected to animals as they were behind the iron curtain. Even though their government was falling apart, Albanians have always considered their domestic animals, cats and dogs, as trustworthy friends, a tradition that dates back in the medieval times with the legendary bards and shepherds in Northern Albania, in a three centuries old Ottoman Empire invasion, Ali Pasha Tepelena’s reign of renaissance and all the way to Albanian modern society. In her verses Violeta’s cat is at the center stage, it becomes a daily partner of her master, a woman friend; each other have developed a style of communication, one by ‘grazing nails’ and the other – the author – by ‘grazing words’ of these verses. Violeta’s poem continues: “Everyone escapes after their own steps / We swallow the final anxiety / the night washes the face with light / and then opens the closed window / I am going crazy from poetical expressions / in the theater verses of the desperate / are narrated on the evenings to the joyful / the voice intrudes the fence of nights and comes back / To deeply own the souls of days / while begging in the flashing silence / while waiting for the nostalgia of the unspoken…”
The second part in Violeta’s “Every Day” brings together nature’s behavior expressed in a stylish and figurative way, human feelings “from poetical expression” as well as the souls of days attempting to hear an unspoken nostalgia. In this context, there is not only the concept of time, matter and days at the same time the nostalgia of the unspoken could also be a reference to a forgiven past and its silenced souls.
Violeta Allmuça, born in Dibër, northern Albania, is a well-known writer, literary critic and a poet; has published three novels and two volumes of poetry in Albanian language. She studied Literature and linguistics at the University of Tirana, Albania, 1991. According to Albanian literary critics she is one of the most popular voices in Contemporary Albanian Literature. Due to her freedom ideals, Allmuça’s work was not published during the communist regime in the decade of 1980s.
Violeta published her first book of poetry in 1994 and for over two decades has been a regular contributor, editor and literary critic in many Albanian and international newspapers and journals. In 1986 Violeta was admitted as a member of the Albanian Union of Writers and Artists.
However in the Albanian community of writers, prevails the tendency of masculinity and women are considered to be more of a housewife than a person with the same personality as men. Albanian women has never been able to find the right space and participate in politics and literature and writing in a balanced and proportionate way side by side with males.
This is the first time in Albanian history in which women is rightfully represented in the executive branch by having six women ministers.
On another poem, Violeta places at the center stage the virtues of nature and how the sea is deeply connected with the human soul.
In “OH, SEA …” Violeta writes: “In the shores of wind and waves / burned up in depth / sleeves whitened from salt / I screamed from the light / waves embraced one another / they were antenna of sweet water / an illuminating bi-color light bulb. / Eyebrows are painted with foam / the voice escapes far away through days / blue sky swallows my breast / Every time I lay down below you / I lick salt and water drops / forget about the concept of time / OH, …the sea brings me closer to myself
but I am looking for his heart / because it connects me with Earth…”
With figurative help of the sea, Violeta wants to connect with planet Earth, mother nature, and even with herself she feels more comfortable standing on the seaside. Just as “waves embrace one another” Violeta is also embraced by the caressing waves and subsequently is more familiar and comfortable with the soul of our planet.
Her style and spirit reflected in all her poetry has raised attention and acclaim in the circles of literary critics and professional writers in the Balkans. Violeta Allmuça’s poetry is renowned for being the embodiment of truly contemporary styles, metaphors, intelligent use of synonyms as well as a series of rhymes that are present in every verse; make Allmuça’s poems one of a kind and highly admired.
Violeta will continue to represent Albanian literature, poetry, literary criticism and all genres of writing at the highest levels of professionalism.
