ИНТИМНАТА ЛИРИКА НА АЦО ШОПОВ / INTIMATE LYRICISM OF ACO ŠOPOV

Abstract

“I have traveled a long time, traveled a whole eternity, from you to my unbeingness“.
(Šopov, 1976: 121) If we draw a parallel from this quote with the topic of this work, we will
come to the conclusion that the intimate lyrics in Aco Šopov’s poems are actually a path
to a deep and intense emotional expression of one of the greatest lyricists in Macedonian
poetry who expressively and metaphorically capturing his unbeingness, leaves a strong
imprint on poetry in general. This way, the most hidden, the most lyrical vibrations in the
poet’s soul are transmitted to us, initiating a desire to experience that intimacy of feeling
and thought, to discover something beyond, something that will give us spiritual food,
something that, when we understand, will help us make a reflection on ourselves and our
spiritual ascension. The depth of Aco Šopov’s strongest intimate lyrical trembles is actually
a thread that leads to the entire emotional blaze of the poet who, in his journey towards
unbeingness, will discover his aim: “I wanted to fight and I fought. I wanted to write and
I wrote.” (Aco Šopov). In this work, emphasis will be placed on some of the intimate lyrics
from Shopov’s poetry, more precisely on some of the poems from different collections
of verses from different periods of his creation that captivate and shine with the poet’s
expression.
