8TH MEETING OF BARBAN’S POETS ‘BESIDE U JATU’ – 01/06/2018

8th Meeting of Barban’s poets ‘Beside u jatu’ – Outside the church of St. Nicholas in Barban at 8 PM

The meeting of Barban’s poets is a one-day event of gathering Barban’s poets and presenting the collection ‘Beside u jatu’. In 2011, for the first time there was a meeting of Barban’s poets with the idea and the wish of the organisers to give the people of Barban a possibility to extract poems from their drawers, perhaps written even long ago, maybe just created or for their lyrics to be visible and as chosen, printed in a common collection of songs. It is a wish that this poetic encounter becomes a traditional gathering of Barban’s poets. Topics are diverse, depending on the personality, experience, knowledge, environments, and so on views of the world and the way of thinking of poets. It is interesting, but not a surprise, that love prevails, love in all modalities – towards the nearest, towards a dear person, towards the natural phenomena, towards the homeland, the village, the parents, etc. Each year, every generation is represented in the meeting, and this really was the intent; that the collection contains the lyrics of Barban’s poets of all ages and generations.
