Diversity in motives and style in the selected works by contemporary writers from the Vrgorac area

The aim of this paper is to point out the pluralism of the motifs and styles in the poetic imaginations of contemporary poets from the Vrgorac region. We will analyze the literary work of three poets coming from the small place of Vidovići near the town of Vrgorac, located in the south of Croatia. There are no inhabitants in this place today. What seemed interesting to present in this paper is that one family house gave three poets belonging to contemporary Croatian poetry. Those are: Veseljko Vidović, Ivan Vidović, and Mladan Vidović. The presentation will rely on these two hypotheses: 1. the mythical landscapes in the poems of the three poets mentioned earlier become real transformations in verse and gnomic expression enriched by lyrical reminiscences. 2. there are motifs of the urban consumption environment with emancipatory aspirations and constant nostalgic need to return to the “hearths” of the word - return to the homeland, into the origin of the identity, where the addressed homeland becomes a refuge or a poetic “falcon’s flight” above ontological artistic aspirations.
