The annual award was given to Tomislav Domovi\u0107 for his poetry book entitled Slava, which
was published in 2024 by the company Vjetrokaz from Zagreb.
Tomislav Domovi\u0107 is undeniably a poet who knows what a poem is. And with his new collection
simply titled Slava, after the exclamation Slava Ukraina!, Domovi\u0107 shows that he
a relative of the word. Domovi\u0107 writes poetry - not to pay tribute only to Ukraine and Ukrainians who
are on the defensive today, but to everyone and everywhere who at any time and in any place
must do the same everywhere: yesterday in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, today in Ukraine, and
tomorrow who knows where. Therefore Domovi\u0107's poetic thought and the anti-war message embedded in it
have a universal meaning.
The poet presents the reader with the experience of war as a destructive force thanks to which it disappears.
the labor of human hands, the work of numerous generations who built the land and handed it down to their descendants,
believing in a better tomorrow. Under the pressure of this destructive force, man also disappears, not only
defender, but also a destroyer who collapses from within, within himself, even though he may not know it
aware. Such an attacker, a non-human, becomes a dehumanized being in the service of hatred and greed.
In contrast to such, the poet sets love, from which life begins, in which hope is built,
which is indestructible, despite everyone, despite everything, which must remain the winner in the end
battles upon battles.
Domovi\u0107's poetic expression is clear, unadulterated, derived from a clear thought, shaped by
with the theme and motifs of his poems. There is also free verse, which is completely appropriate as
a symbolic means of expression by which the poet directs the reader to the thought of freedom.
Considering the above, the Evaluation Committee concluded that Tomislav Domovi\u0107
deserves to be awarded the Annual Antun Branko \u0160imi\u0107 Award for his poetry book Slava.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
