When I think about it I wrote (Kad bolje razmislim)
Poetry Expo 25
This video accompanies the poem "When I Think About It I Wrote," a reflection on the nature and power of words. Using AI-assisted translation and years of experience in video presentation, the creator explores the essence of poetry, the impact of metaphors, and the reader’s interpretation of imagery. The recurring motifs of rivers, lakes, and introspective musings lead to a deeper question—can poetry be measured? The answer remains open, as the beauty of verse is inscribed within the soul, beyond quantification.
The project is part of the subthemes Re-imagining identity through poetry, Poetry and the Digital Commons - New platforms, new audiences.
