Andrej
Živor lives in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Živor's process of poetic creation is, indeed, not closed and concluded before he starts writing a poem: the poet is constantly conspiring with the subject-matter (even when entire units are taken ready-made and formally rounded-up from the world of objects, as scenes from life and speech excerpts, from advertisments, book titles, CD covers, etc.). Their relationship is twofold and multifariously productive.
For Živor, it is not enough just to incorporate non-artistic, in this case non-poetic, material into his artistic poetic context. He gives a poetic form to his material and subjects it to a poetic principle, putting it into a metric framework, organizing it into rhythmic patterns, intervening in the field of its possible meanings and possible ways of reading it, attributing to it semantic streams and expanding its initially rather limited and one-way oriented textual impacts.
