Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2023

Abstract

Eleven years after the first work, She is the tragic type... (2010), the poet, art columnist and teacher Andrea Vatulíková published her second collection of poems Even if you can laugh like the Dalai Lama. She herself refers to the previous book in the text "Až bodeweme": "They say I'm not the tragic type / but dramatic", in a footnote.

In general, drama includes not only tragic, but also comic situations, not explicitly mentioned here, but strongly visible throughout the entire collection in the form of amused comments, ironic slaps or sarcastic sighs.
