Banja Luka, 13 October 2014
The book “Dizanje kamena” /selected poems/ by Ivo Stropnik was promoted in Banski dvor under the organisation of Association of Authors of Srpska – Branch Office Banja Luka and Association of Slovenians "TRIGLAV” Banja Luka.
The book was discussed by Zdravko Kecman, Milenko Stojičić, Živko Malešević, Željko Perović, Aleksandra Čvorović and author.
In addition to poetry as primary sphere of life Ivo Stropnik spoke about the literary scene not only in Slovenia but also in greater Europe because as the organiser of a known festival Lirikonfest, with the participation of over fifty foreign authors and as many national authors, he is well aware of the situation.
They all agreed that translation done by Željko Perović was exquisite so that not at a single moment one can sense the deviation from the original. This was particularly confirmed by Zdravko Kecman, who translates from Slovenian.
