The language of manipulation and the language of poetry
the place of the voice of poetry in the contemporary political and moral discourse
Keywords:
Ukraine war, literary communication, literary cognitivism, emotionsAbstract
The article analyzes the poetry volume „Before they wash off the blood” by the contemporary Bulgarian poet Yordan Efftimov. The offered reading could be of interest not only for literary criticism, but also for the research in the domain of literary theory: the question is to what extent and how literary works of art can evoke an emotional response in the reader, resp. whether and how the latter is able to learn something about the world and about herself by reading literature. An answer to the question of how the role of literary communication could be understood (and perhaps even defended) in the context of the war in Ukraine is offered.
