Strange Thoughts - Paperback

by Dejan Stojanovic (Author)

Strange Thoughts is a collection of prose poems, short stories, epigrams, aphorisms, vignettes, and mini-essays. It is unique in that it consists predominantly of prose rather than poetry. The collection combines various aspects of existence, perception, and the relationship between oneself and the world. Every piece is a philosophical and artistic contemplation, comprising abstract thoughts and stunning imagery into a reflective cascade effortlessly flowing through various forms of expression.

Existential meditation stands out the most in this collection as it fosters deep thinking of one's identity and the paradox of knowledge. The scope of "the one who exists and the one who does not simultaneously" captures self-awareness, which exists within the intricacies of the human condition, while self-reflection is discordant. Another striking theme is the journey into wilderness and isolation.
