Concert on the Island (Koncert na ostrově)
Original language description
Seifert’s Concert on the Island represents a turning point in his writing in regards to both theme and form, which changed radically. He abandons rich metaphorical language and regular harmonic verse with sophisticated rhyme structure and starts to prefer free verse, prose-like language and metaphorical austerity. The prevailing grim reminiscent perspective of World War II, motifs of danger and death, with only hints of hope begin to appear in Seifert’s poetry. Not only victims are displayed, but also the bystanders and Nazi oppressors They are depicted by name, but also often implicitly or in general as in the case of Jews. The victims and simultaneously heroes are Jews as well as brave members of artistic circles. In the context of Czech poetry about the Shoah, Kolář can be considered a possible predecessor to Seifert with his prose-like poetry which uses free verse The Liver of Prometheus.
