Emancipation in Dominic's poetry

“Political Sensibility of K V Dominic’s Creative Muse, 2019

In most of Dominic's poems, I find that he is trying to seek Emancipation, true emancipation for all life on Mother Earth and not just for the human beings. He tells us that we, all of us, have to achieve Humanism, by becoming humane, once again. We have to get back our empathy.

Osório de Castro: a poet of India

2019

Osorio de Castro (1868-1942) e um conhecido poeta portugues quase sempre estudadocomo exemplo das correntes finesseculares do seculo XIX (Simbolismo, Parnasianismo,Decadentismo), em que se encontram frequentes alusoes ao Oriente, caracterizadas peloexotismo ou anacronia dos elementos, fora do espaco e do tempo comuns, tigres ou ruinas.De facto, no periodo em que trabalhou na India, publicou ate em Panjim, Nova Goa (1906)um livro de poemas, A Cinza dos Mirtos, em que sao constantes as alusoes a esse Oriente.Mas acentua-se entao, a nosso ver, uma estranha inversao de perspetiva: passando oselementos exoticos ou anacronicos a ser comuns, os elementos comuns, vistos de longe,ganham em exotismo e anacronia. De certa forma, a India acentua ambiguidadesconotativas: a vitoria e sentida como derrota e a objetividade da Historia parece produtoda subjetividade do Mito.

Birth and Death in Michael Verancius' Poems Written to the Szapolyai Family in 1540

János, Nagyillés et al. (ed.) Sapiens Ubique Civis I. - Proceedings of International Conference on Classical Studies (Antiquitas Byzantium Renascentia XIII.), 2015

Michael Verancius (Mihovil Vrančić, 1514?–1571), the Croatian (and Hungarian) humanist, wrote two poems about the considerable events of the Szapolyai family’s life in 1540. John Sigismund, son of King John I (John Szapolyai, 1487–1540), was born in Buda on 7 July 1540. Verancius composed a greeting poem entitled Nativitas primogeniti filii Ioannis Hungariae regis for this occasion. However, the Hungarian king died directly after his son’s birth in Szászsebes on 21 July 1540. Verancius wrote also a funeral poem entitled In obitum Ioannis Hungariae regis: Lacrimae at the moment of mourning. This paper examines these occasional poems of Verancius as well as their generic traits. Numerous valuable literary works can be hidden in connection with the humanists of South-Slav origin and their research is timely and necessary. The main aim of my paper is to publish the texts of these manuscripts, which are not widely known.
