Dvojzično izdanje

Poezija Svetlane Spaić liči na zvuk potoka koji protiče pored vas dok ležite u travi i posmatrate oblake koji putuju iznad vas. Ti oblaci su reči a žubor je ono što vas ispunjava posebnošću trenutka. Shvatate da su oblačići stalno tu, uvek prisutni ali da vas je potok naterao da primetite koliko su posebni, lepi.
Svetlana nam otkriva da treba samo leći u travu i posmatrati nebo. Naoko izgleda da to nije ništa posebno ali ipak je trebalo da se pojavi pesnikinja, prava pesnikinja da nam pokaže put do njene, ali i naše duše koja se krije u potoku koji nekuda žuri.

Svetlana Spaic’s poetry is like the sound of a stream flowing beside you as you lie in the grass and watch the clouds travel above you. These little clouds are words and the murmur is what fills you with the sense of how special the moment is. You realise that the clouds are always there, always present, but that the stream made you notice how extraordinary, how beautiful they are. Svetlana reveals to us that all we need to do is to lie down in the grass and watch the sky. On the surface, it seems like it is nothing special, but it took a poet, a true poet, to appear and show us the way not only to her, but also to our soul, hidden in the stream that is scurrying somewhere.
