Both TatjanaGromaca and JoanBrossa mayseemtwoverydifferentpoets,buttheyare linked
by one word:war. Firstly, TatjanaGromaca is a poetessborn inthe Croatian part of the former
Yugoslavia. She lived the Yugoslavian War (1991-2001), in which Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia
where the ones who suffered most due to the war. Because of this war, Tatjana decided to
develop poetry withastrongsocial criticism,andlookingforawayto expressthe sadness that
a war produces. Likewise, Joan Brossa participated in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), as
part of the republican army, in Lleida, as part of the called “Lleva del biberó”, who were just
teenagers that were sent to war. When he was at the war, he started to believe in the
randomness (he saved his life by pure luck during the war) and he developed a strong
antimilitarism. When the war ended, he decided to make poetry in Catalan, illegally, and as
Tatjana did, with a strong social criticism.
The biggest similarity between both authors is their social and political commitment that
determined their choice of themes. Both poets make a bad review about capitalism and
hypocrisyinthe people,whileexpressingtheirfeelings of pain and refuse of war, despite the
fact that they experienced the war in a different way.
