Vučica u širokoj zemlji, promocija knjige Marije Dragnić
Vučica u širokoj zemlji, promocija knjige Marije Dragnić „Vučica u širokoj zemlji“ je bilingvalna zbirka poezije Marije Dragnić o unutrašnjoj snazi i praiskonskom glasu, obogaćena moćnim, intuitivnim ilustracijama umetnice Natalie Maniake; SVI MI izdavaštvo, 2025.
Marija Dragnić (Nikšić, 1990) – pesnikinja čija poezija prelazi u performans, pokret i pokretne slike. Autorka zbirki Konfabulacije, Mi, marije i Treća neuništiva stvar. Dobitnica više regionalnih nagrada. Osnivačica poetskog društva SVI MI.
Natalia Maniaka (Solun, 1997) – grčko-srpska vizuelna umetnica. Izlagala na ART ATHINA, imala samostalnu izložbu u Allouche Benias galeriji i učestvovala u The Moosey Residency i INSPIRE PROJECT pri MOMus. U radu istražuje telo, prostor i transformaciju forme.
Ova knjiga prati glas bića koje je i žena i zvijerka i znak. Vučica ne nasljeđuje arhetip majke, zaštitnice, ratnice i kćeri prirode — ona ih iznova stvara iz sopstvenog tijela, iskustva i preživljenog.
Poezija Marije Dragnić i ilustracije Natalie Maniake ne objašnjavaju jedna drugu — one dišu zajedno. Riječ i slika kao dva oblika iste snage, isto kretanje kroz tamu, isto vraćanje sebi. Vučica je poezija ženskog opstanka bez opravdanja. Vizuelno tijelo koje se ne povlači.
„Svaka pjesma Marije Dragnić označava istovremeno i kraj i početak svijeta.” — Selma Asotić
„Tuga je jedino što ne možemo da podmetnemo bez pokrića.” — Dragana Erjavšek
„Sretnimo se oči u oči sa bićima dozvanim sa rubova.” — Mirko Kekić

“She-Wolf in the Vast Land” is a bilingual poetry collection by Marija Dragnić, enriched with powerful, intuitive illustrations by Natalia Maniaka; ALL OF US Publishing, 2025.
Marija Dragnić (Nikšić, 1990) – poet whose work moves into performance, movement, and moving images. Author of the books Confabulations, We, the Marias, and The Third Indestructible Thing. Recipient of several regional awards. Founder of the poetic collective ALL OF US (SVI MI).
Natalia Maniaka (Thessaloniki, 1997) – Greek-Serbian visual artist. She has exhibited at ART ATHINA, held a solo exhibition at Allouche Benias Gallery, and participated in The Moosey Residency and INSPIRE PROJECT at MOMus. Her work explores the body, space, and the transformation of form.
This book follows the voice of a being that is at once woman, beast, and sign. The she-wolf does not inherit the archetype of mother, protector, warrior, or daughter of nature — she recreates them anew from her own body, experience, and survival. The poetry of Marija Dragnić and the illustrations of Natalia Maniaka do not explain one another — they breathe together. Word and image as two forms of the same force, the same movement through darkness, the same return to the self. The she-wolf is poetry of female unapologetic endurance. A visual body that does not retreat.
“Every poem by Marija Dragnić marks both the end and the beginning of the world.” — Selma Asotić
“Grief is the only thing we cannot fake without consequence.” — Dragana Erjavšek
“Let us meet eye to eye with the beings summoned from the edges.”_ — Mirko Kekić
