About this ebook
The poetry collection "Promised Land" contains 28 poems from 4 out of Markovski's 6 published poetry books belonging to different poetry styles, poetics, and philosophical viewpoints.
About its author Stefan Markovski, critic Eftim Kletnikov has claimed "he is one of the foremost names of the latest generation of Macedonian poets", author of "intellectual and curious nature, which requires synthesis between poetry and philosophy."
And according to the choice of motives and the character of his creations, Stefan Markovski is a poet and philosopher, at the same time, or rather, a poet-philosopher who tries to bring in the intuition and logos in balance, to create the fabric of his verses from their refined and invisible thread, scooping from the deepest interior of the senses and consciousness, descending into the subconscious and climbing into the superconscious.
In that sense, for Stefan Markovski, we can freely claim the relevancy of Heidegger's definition of poetry as a speech of the being. In that sense, can we define him as a kind of poetic pre-Socratic who tries to poetically interpret the being? Probably. He extracts his talent's hidden contents in a refined lyrical way and gives them a fertile imaginary flow.
Markovski does not follow the main poetic structure of his generation, dominated by irony as the basic stylistic figure and worldview of reality. On the contrary, he is disposed to the dominantly lyrical associative type of poetry, truly inclining towards a recognizable symbolic type of expression. As a matter of fact, for example, as is the case with a symbolist such as Stefan Mallarme, whose poetics of suggestion (things to be suggested, and not named) to which is close the poetics of Stefan Markovski - his poetic images are dimmed and dissolved in emotional and musical effects.
Markovski's poetic paintings are deliberately put to be associatively loose, semantically dissolved in a general philosophical stream, which is basically Heraclitian, in which time flows away taking the moments and memories as a river - a symbol of the illusion of human life.
