Savršenstvo vatre
Savršenstvo vatre jedinstvena je zbirka Antićeve poezije: čini je, u stvari, samo jedna pesma. Kao što je vatra jedan od praelemenata od kojih je načinjen svet, tako je i pesma pragovor iz kojeg je iznikao i sam jezik. U pozno doba, prodornije nego ikad, pesnik traga za korenima reči, drevnim jezikom i zaboravljenim značenjima kojima će objasniti sebe, svet i svoje mesto u njemu. Granajući metafore drveta i mahovine pokušava da dokuči prirodu postojanja i prolaznosti, večnog i propadljivog, uzvišenog i niskog... Ne pronalazeći konačne odgovore, ostaje da lebdi pred spoznajom sopstvene iščašenosti iz života i neuklopivosti u granicama opipljivog sveta.
Monumentalna pesma, knjiga mudrosti, ironije, gorčine i samospoznaje. Lirika koja isijava tamnu svetlost metafora izniklih iz sudbinskog razgovora koji pesnik vodi sa samim sobom.
Vrhunac Antićeve misaone poezije.

About the author
Miroslav Antić
45 books192 followersMiroslav "Mika" Antić was a Serbian poet, movie director, journalist and painter. Antić was born in Mokrin, Kikinda municipality, Vojvodina, Serbia (then Yugoslavia). He had six children. His oldest son, Igor Antic, is a visual artist.
He wrote poems, articles, dramas, movie and TV scripts and documentaries. As film-maker, he was considered as a part of the "Black Wave" of the Yugoslav film. His films, in particular "Breakfast with the devil" in whom Antic criticized the double morality of the communists at the Tito’s time, were forbidden and destroyed. They were rediscovered and restored in the end of the 90s. Mika also acted in several movies, and was a painter. His best known poem is "Srem", in which he mourns for dead in World War II and describes the beauty of Srem using "bećarac" song form. He is well known as a bohemian.
Mika Antić is best known as a children and youth poet, a master of delicate and gentle sentiments.
His bohemian, hard-drinking lifestyle is best illustrated by a barely translatable pun about him:
"Čika Jova deci, čika Mika Antić dva deci"
"Čika Jova deci" meaning "Uncle-Jova to the children", referring to Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, possibly the best known children's poet. "Čika Mika Antić dva deci" means "Uncle-Mika Antić two deciliters", referring to drinking from a glass, likely of alcohol.

"Čega god sam pokušavao da se domognem,
pretvaralo se u jedno isto: mene samog."
"Isuviše sam se trudio da razumem sve slobode,
umesto da budem slobodan."
