BARE - Ana Glendža
Then, as if I had bared my soul to the sky,
through words and tears I broke the endless dry,
through a gaze brighter than any star could be,
through a silent talk, more secret than secrecy.
Then, as if I had foreseen something near,
I told my unrest and omens, clumsy yet sincere,
my armor and my shields I cast upon the road,
my fears and sorrows I left in some other abode.
Those tremors and thoughts were part of my name,
wandering aimlessly since the dawn it came.
That night, a naked soul looked them in the eyes,
and, as in every tale, beheld fear’s disguise.

Ana Glendža was born on January 16, 2001, in Cetinje. She graduated in Psychology in 2023 at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Montenegro, where she also enrolled in master’s studies the same year. She is currently in the final phase of her master’s program, working on her thesis titled “Diabetes as a Risk Factor for the Development of Depressive Symptomatology.”
She approaches poetry spontaneously – she writes when it finds its way to her. She perceives verse as a possibility to express those parts of herself she does not reveal to others, but also as a path to self-discovery, since through writing she often uncovers what she had not known before. She believes that the written word holds healing power – both for the author and the reader. Each poem, in her view, carries a fragment of the personality of its creator, while the reader has the freedom to discover new meanings and open the doors within themselves.
She is a member of the Association Young Artists of Culture.
