Gladni coveka

Ljubav - neiscrpan izvor inspiracije umetnika. Ljubav - najlepse osecanje od postanka sveta. Ljubav - neizmerno bogatstvo, najveca radost, magicna rec, razlog za zivot, motiv za budjenje u novom danu... Milenijumima opevavana, oslikavana recima i kistom... I, ma, koliko o njoj pevali i pisali, nikad ne mozemo reci sve. Ona je pokretac sveta i svakog dobra u njemu. Zbog ljubavi padamo, zbog nje se i podizemo. Zbog ljubavi stradamo, zbog nje i zivimo. Zbog ljubavi tugujemo, ali se i radujemo. Ljubav je pored zivota najveci dar od Boga.

(Lucija Tasic o zbirci pesama Gladni coveka)

-----

Hungry for Man is an intimate book of poems that walks the border between confession and testimony. Ivo Torbica writes of ache and stubborn hope, of the ways desire turns into prayer when language runs out. Daily life-streets, kitchens, a train window at dusk-appears like a stage where love and fatigue trade monologues. What remains is an obstinate tenderness, a will to begin again. Readers who enjoy clear, image-driven contemporary poetry will find a steady, disarming voice here.
