Poetry Writing as a “Meeting” with the Czech Past and Present. The Exile Poetry of Ivan Diviš‘s Departure from Bohemia
Flanderka, Jakub
The Exile Poetry of Ivan Diviš‘s Departure from Bohemia deals with Ivan Diviš’s poetic work Odchod z Čech (Departure from Bohemia), which is composed as a stylized “meeting” of a poetic subject with the external world. This “meeting” revolves especially around the themes of emigration and living in exile, and the situation in Czechoslovakia during the period of “normalisation”, which was a particularly strong one for the author, as well as the contemplation of the poet’s subject over his relationship to the motherland. Diviš’s leaving Czechoslovakia was the resolution of an arduous moment in his life, when – as an individual – he came into a clash with momentous historical events (and not for the first time). As such, this became an opportunity for him to reconsider the theme of Czech national identity and milestones of Czech history through his poetry.
