| THE POETRY OF KRISTAQ F. SHABANI AS SEEN FROM AN OUTSIDER
Some weeks ago my fellow poet and teacher Kristaq Shabani from Gjirokaster, Albania, has sent me some of his poems collected in three of his poetry books: Humiliated Virtue, Chrysanthemum (Yellow-white Chrysanthemum), and Eol, I Pray Poems. I must admit that I found it very difficult to put things together after the first reading, primarily because I read Shabani’s poems not in the original but in the English translation versions. This is one of the reasons why I used the word “outsider” in the title of this essay: “outsider” in the sense that the English translations of Shabani’s poetry are kilometers away from the original meaning and beauty which the poet originally had in mind (the idea of the “traduttore traditore”). The second reason why I used the word “outsider” is the fact that I am not familiar with the history, culture and spirit of Albania and its people. These two facts acted as a deterrent at the beginning and I was very skeptical about writing this essay. However, I wanted topersevere and read Shabani’s poetry more than once and concentrate on the parts which I could understand as a regular reader of contemporary poetry from all over the world. Poetry is that which generates in the reader’s mind numerous questions and reflections. Shabani’s verse managed to do this, and that’s why my essay here shall be posing many questions. | |

| The poet, his nation and mankind
Kristaq Shabani’s love towards his native town is expressed at the beginning of his collection Humiliated Virtue, in his poem Magical Stony Town. Here Gjirokastra is humanized (“grey-haired”, “face”, “body”, “bloody veins”, “breathing”, “head”, “pain” and “fleshy hands”). However, Gjirokastra is also described as a “jeweled town”, “the first flower”, “philosopher town’, “a stony rose” and “labyrinth town”. Shabani insists on the one hand on the “stone” characteristics, and on the other on its human aspects. Thus Gjirokastra is a town of stone but made of human beings. | |

| In Of Queen Sesile Shabani writes that everyone dances in Paris, in Rome and in Madrid, but exclaims that, “(Really, what is happening in TIRANA!)/ Acts are losing their order.” This idea of lack of order is felt in Shabani’s collection Eol, I Pray Poems, in Liking, where he writes: “The pompous person stands with his head cut./ (he likes his head cut)/ Attracts more attention,/ Than with the head on its place”. | |

| Many poems of Shabani deal with power and suppression of the weaker: thus the relation between the dog and the master, the prostitute and the customer, the bull and the gladiator, gods and man, is a regular presence in his poems. In The Writer the reader asks if the poem deals with the loss of identity and thus the humiliation not only at the individual level, but also at the national level. In such a situation Man tries to look for an answer from the Entity (God?) but to no avail, as “The Entity is silent with an unprecedented muteness.” | |

| Shabani writes about the Prophet (maybe the Writer himself as the one having the power of seeing what others do not see?) and the Ape (perhaps a symbol of an uncivilized society?). Is this the reason why Shabani feels humiliated? This can be linked to “The thick-skinned man… the harsh one…” (the one who manages to survive in an Ape world?) in Trap. Man is given animal characteristics, while animals are given human characteristics in Shabani’s poetry. In The Story of the One who Committed Suicide the poet writes about friendship, or the lack of it, in our society. At times animals behave in a more humane way than humans themselves (“The eyes of tears/ From my dog”). | |

| The Affliction of the Gods is a powerful piece. The words “pain” and “tears” are recurrent. Life is understood to be a bitter comedy where again “The Gods are wounded badly”, and where tears, pain and death accompany mankind to its final fall. There is a political (in the wide sense of the meaning) undercurrent in such poems. That of mankind today, as in the past days, is still a “shocking situation”, a situation where blood, pain and conflict rule (White Slavery). That’s why gods are still afflicted. In Wom… Shabani writes, “It’s very odd with what is happening today…/ “Man to break like a window and glass!”. Mankind remains always vulnerable. Shabani looks at all this either from the outside as an objective observer, or from the inside as an active participant. | |

| Pain and disillusion are strongly present in Chrysanthemum (Yellow-white Chrysanthemum) – Paradoxes hajk and epigram, and this through words like “poison”, “torture”, “devilishly”, “elegies”, “blackens”, “ravine”, “dead body”, “smoke”, “blind labyrinth”, “catastrophe”, “cracks”, “suffered”, “tears”, “black-grey coffin”, and “abandonment”. Disillusion is also present in the collection Eol, I Pray Poems, especially in Ex Flower: “Nina, opens the feminine heart/ With the key of the eye…/ the room seems to be empty/ vase left without flowers/ Or with withered flowers!/ Midnight becomes a widow/ while being mocked by the knife/ which cut veins!” | |

| All this has to do with the strong moral dimension of Shabani’s poetry. His poems are concerned with divine justice and mankind. In this matter, the poet has a primary role: in a way he is the voice of the gods, a voice which comes from the distant past but knows what the present is all about. In The Sign Shabani insists on the theme discussed in his first poem, that is, virtue today.
The Vicars is another “political” poem. Rulers come and go, but they are always made up of the same elements. “Thrones’ and “masks’ go together, and the race for power has no place for sincerity. Shabani frequently places side by side the words “play” and “throne”. In this sense power is also a question of being the best player in the game (Polydoras Versus Mourf). Many befriend hypocrisy just to embrace fame. However, for the poet such behavior is comical as he prefers to wander “the beautiful pastures and fields” (Conservatives). This links with what Shabani writes in another of his poems: ours is a society based on superficiality and artificiality. This contrasts the world of the poet, one of authentic beauty: “Beauty alone frees all the Poets”. | |

| Style, structure and imagery
As a poet, in general Kristaq Shabani opts for concision. A great part of his verses are hermetic: the symbolic is placed in the foreground while the literal is found in the background. In his poems there are many direct and indirect references to legends, myths and the world of tales. One reads about the “tree of mysteries”, the gladiator and the bull, the shining “white teeth”, and the “magic bag of coins”.
In Eol, I Pray Poems, based on the hajku three-line structure, Shabani starts from things that are tangible and which we experience daily (“cigarette”, “flower”, “bridge”, “chimney”, “wave”), but the destination is much more detached from all that which is real and touches the philosophical, the intellectual and the spiritual.
Shabani also writes about positive elements such as virtue, beauty and dignity. He describes a world of sensual appeal: colors, tastes, sounds, touch, “fragrances”, “perfumes”, and “aromas” have a strong presence and role. This links also with the erotic component such as what we read in The Evidence where woman is presented as a temptressin these lines made up of heat, passion and temptation. | |

| “Eyelids” are frequently mentioned in Shabani’s poems: many times they represent something much larger such as dawn or the birth of light through sunrise, “The dawn cannot open the eyelids, the extinguished dawn”.
Light is another strong image in Shabani’s poetry. One reads of “the charming eye” (Conservatives), “the magic eye” (Dream), “sparkling rays” and “Two eyes burn” (Of Queen Sesile), “two eyes inflamed”, and “eyes glitter” (Tiraide). The “burning fire” (in Descendant Poets) is not only that which has to do with passion, but also with inspiration. Becoming pregnant may thus also mean becoming inspired. “Birth” and “pregnancy” are also present in Every Book has its Luck. Such concepts are tied to the process of waiting and having patience. Does not this indirectly refer to the relation between the poet and inspiration/poetry? In Dream, Shabani meets Homer who “came out of the statue of the old parliament”. However, this magical moment is short-lived, and what remains is light shining brightly. | |

| Conclusion
Reading Kristaq Shabani’s poems is not easy, primarily because the translation in English creates a solid distance from the original in Albanian. Reading Shabani’s poetry from the outside made me feel like trying “to find a needle in the Labyrinth” (The Rostere Prize). However, the persevering reader understands that Shabani’s poetry is an invitation to search in “the depths of the soul”, and the satisfaction is huge when s/he starts to put together the different pieces to form the final meanings.
Kristaq Shabani manages to “open columns of silence” through his pencil/verses in order to provoke the reader to react. It is a silence which is heavy with a sense of awe and thought-provoking. Real poetry manages to surpass the limits posed by languages and translation, thus reaching directly the heart of the reader. And this is what Kristaq Shabani’s poetry manages to do, thus surpassing the individual and national limits and reaching the universal.

| For the poet Kristaq Shabani, understanding of the life and reality, in motion and clash, all these mean a pulse, a special movement. Of course, there is a relationship between word’s wealth and poet’s personality. The poet knows things, he analyses, making a speech for his readers, poetically short, in a dialogue with human entity.
“When the tears start to fall, Virtues face humiliation. Man that is so sarcastic asks the entity: What’s left from MAN.” (an excerpt from Introduction) | |

| The poet takes colours, shapes, feelings from the real world in order to built “a jigsaw picture”. His literary work does not contain imagery, he wants to leave the pleasures of imagination to the readers. He just offers a group of elements.
“The Prophet was killed again
The Age is escalating, climbing upwards.
The Prophet came to life once again.
During the day I read calmly and clearly.” | |

| The linguistic seekings of the poet are various, his speech is ready to be delivered to many categories of poetry readers.
Kristaq Shabani likes to be close of nature, love, classical literary works or social matters. So, we can see the intensity of his searchings, his struggle for real subjects of life.
“Hypocritical putity
usual and comical…
The fame that is achieved.”
(the poem “Descendant Poet”)
The fictional encounter of Homer makes him to be troubled, is a call for Kristaq to go on the read of statues, those eternal testimonies that enlighten and rule our modern world:
“Shouted to me from afar:
Wait for me…wait!
Together we’ll go on the road
that leads to the statues.”
(excerpt from “Dream”) | |

| Kristaq F. Shabani has a register of moods and free intellectual contacts that make him to be a storyteller of thoughts and actions, in a personal manner of the diverse forms of interpretation. Without to waste poetical means, his eyes see the effects or reasons of existence and emotional touch-sometimes in harmony with “The EGO”, the tough and fiery one, in the shape of a proud man, bold and clever.
“The humiliated Virtues appeal:
OH, PEOPLE, PLEASE DON’T HUMILIATE US!”
(Introduction of the book, excerpt)

Μια κριτική άποψη για τον συγγραφέα Χρηστάκη Σαμπάνη I.W.A
Από την Βασιλική Καλαχάνη I.W.A
Ποιήτρια-Μεταφράστρια
Κρήνες-Κορινθίας
Πάντα θέλω να προσεγγίζω με αγάπη τους συγγραφείς, προσπαθώ και κάνω μεγάλες προσπάθειες να μπω στην ψυχή τους κι όχι να τους κρίνω αυστηρά κι αποκαρδιωτικά.
Γνωρίζω τον συγγραφέα κ. Χρηστάκη Σαμπάνη τα τελευταία 5 χρόνια της ζωής μου, βλέπω το έργο του που δημοσιεύεται στην Ελλάδα, στο περιοδικό «Κελαινώ» του ζεύγους Αντώνη και Παναγιώτας Ζαλώνη. Εκεί βρίσκω ποιήματα κι άρθρα του κ. Σαμπάνη, εκεί τον χαίρομαι.
Όμως η βαθύτερη επικοινωνία ανάμεσά μας έγινε όταν άρχισε να μου στέλνει ο κ. Σαμπάνης ποιητικές συλλογές απ’το Αργυρόκαστρο και τα Τύραννα.. κι εκεί θαύμασα πολύ κι αντιλήφτηκα τι χαρίσματα έχει ως άνθρωπος όταν συνέθεσε ένα μεγαλόπνοο ελεγείο και μου το έστειλε στη μνήμη του παιδιού μου Παναγιώτη Καλαχάνη..το»»Μνημόσυνο στον ποιητή Παναγιώτη Καλαχάνη..»»…
Χαίρομαι πάρα πολύ και είναι τιμή για μένα που συμπεριέλαβα δύο τόσο σπουδαίους και καταξιωμένους δημιουργούς στην Β΄΄ Ανθολογία Ποίησης Ελλήνων Λογοτεχνών που εξέδωσα το 2007 στην Ελλάδα, στη μνήμη των Αγγέλων, συμπεριέλαβα τον κ. Χρηστάκη Σαμπάνη και τον κ. Πέτρο Ντούντι. Δυστυχώς για λόγους χώρου δεν μπόρεσα να συμπεριλάβω περισσότερους αλβανούς- φιλέλληνες ποιητές , δυστυχώς δεν μπόρεσα. | |

| Έρχομαι τώρα να πλησιάσω το πνευματικό ανάστημα και την ψυχή του κ. Χρηστάκη Σαμπάνη που διευθύνει τον πολιτιστικό σύλλογο «Πήγασος» στο Αργυρόκαστρο και στα Τύραννα, που έχει συγκεντρώσει τόσους αλβανούς δημιουργούς κοντά του απ’όλη την Αλβανία, που στηρίζει την Λογοτεχνία κι εκδίδει πολλές εφημερίδες κι έντυπα ανά την χώρα και τον κόσμο. Να πλησιάσω έναν εθνικό στυλοβάτη που πιστεύει κι ενδιαφέρεται και μοχθεί για την πολιτιστική αναγέννηση της Αλβανίας που πραγματοποιεί τα τελευταία χρόνια διεθνή φεστιβάλ ποίησης στο Αργυρόκαστρο και στα Τύραννα που προωθεί την συναδέλφωση των λαών στα Βαλκάνια, που συγκεντρώνει τόσους λογοτέχνες απ’τα Βαλκάνια, την Ευρώπη και τον υπόλοιπο κόσμο εδώ στην Αλβανία, ο κ. Σαμπάνης που αγαπά την Ελλάδα τόσο πολύ που αγκαλιάζει την Ελλάδα…
Τολμώ να ονομάσω τον κ. Χρηστάκη Σαμπάνη εκσυγχρονιστή μιας νέας τάξης πραγμάτων που θέλουν να οδηγήσουν σε μια μεγαλύτερη οικουμενικότητα την Αλβανία να είναι φίλη με τον Κόσμο και σημαντική για τον Κόσμο. Κι αυτό το πετυχαίνει μέσω της λογοτεχνίας ο κ. Χρηστάκης Σαμπάνης γιατι σαν δημιουργός αγαπά το Πνεύμα και δημιουργεί.., και σαν στριατιωτικός αυτό που σκέπτεται ορθά και δυναμικά εν τέλει πράττει. | |

| Και τώρα να πλησιάσω το ποιητικό έργο του κ. Χρηστάκη Σαμπάνη που τον γνωρίζω απ’τα πρώτα ποιητικά του βήματα και τον σέβομαι και τον αγαπώ ακόμα περισσότερο που τον γνωρίζω τώρα στην ωριμότητά του. Αέρινος και ιδεαλιστής ο κ. Χρηστάκης Σαμπάνης, μιλά για αγάπη, μιλά για έρωτα, για φιλία, για τη προδοσία, μιλά για την πατρίδα του, μιλά για τον Κόσμο. Ανθρωπιστής και οικουμενιστής ο κ. Σαμπάνης διαλέγει όμως τον επιγραμματικό στίχο στα ποιήματά του όπου τόσο αυστηρά κλείνει τις λυρικές στιγμές των εικόνων του. Γιατί; Σκέφτηκα.
Γιατί δεν αποκαλύπτει όσα θέλει απ’την αρχή του έργου του;.. Γιατί δεν εκφράζεται ελεύθερα;..Γιατί καταπιέζει την ομορφιά που αισθάνεται μες την ψυχή του; Νομίζω ότι είναι η πρώτη συστολή του ποιητή που φοβάται ν’αποκαλύψει το πάθος και την αλήθεια που αισθάνεται πίσω απ’τους στίχους του. Είναι τρομακτικό όταν εκφράζεσαι στον κόσμο αυτό όταν δέχεσαι επιθέσεις ακόμα και για το ότι εκφράζεσαι ποιητικά. Η ποίηση είναι ένα πάρα πολύ δύσκολο θέμα. Ο στίχος μάλλον καθυστερεί τον ποιητή στην αρχή του έργου του , μετά ο δυναμικός και άξιος ποιητής υπερπηδά τους στίχους του, πλημμυρίζει τον έξω και μέσα του κόσμο πάλι με ποιητική ουσία. Κι αυτό που πρίμενα από τον κ. Σαμπάνη ..γίνεται... Αποκαλύφτηκε στην επίμονη ροή του έργου του, όπου μετουσιώνεται συνεχώς, μάλλον το πάθος τον οδηγεί και η αχαλίνωτη σκέψη και φαντασία του. Είναι εξαιρετικά προικισμένος ο κ. Σαμπάνης με φαντασία και όραμα και με μια σπάνια γνήσια φλέβα μυστικισμού. | |

| Για να καταλάβουμε τον κ. Σαμπάνη πρέπει να φύγουμε από τη γη. Ο κόσμος του σμιλεύεται ψηλά με πολλά φώτα και ιδανικά, ο άφθαστος κόσμος του στα ουράνια πεδία. Αφήνεις το σώμα και τη σκέψη σου στη γη και πραγματικά απογειώνεσαι, αναρριπίζεσαι από τη ζέση των εικόνων του, αναβαπτίζεσαι στο θαύμα του υπερρεαλισμού του. Ένας τόσο σπουδαίος υπερρεαλιστής ποιητής που πραγατικά αξιζει να χαθείς στις εικόνες του. Αξίζει να φύγουμε από τον βάρβαρο, γήινο μαγνητισμό της γης και να ζήσουμε για λίγο στο άφθαστο ύψος των εικόνων του. Τα έργα της ωριμότητάς του μου δίνουν το δικαίωμα να γράψω αυτά τα λόγια . ..Αυτό που κάνει τον κ. Σαμπάνη να ξεχωρίζει ανάμεσα σουες άλλους δημιουργούς είναι ότι προσφέρει μια ποιητική έκσταση στις κορυφές του έργου του, εκεί που οι εικόνες του κυριολεκτικά μαγνητίζουν και λάμπουν κι έχουν βγει έξω απ’το στίχο. Δεν είναι θέμα μόνο επανάστασης αλλά και πνευματικής μετουσίωσης, τα εσωτερικά θαύματα που συμβαίνουν μέσα μας που φέρνει η ωριμότητα.. που φέρνει ο Θεός!... | |

| Είναι παράξενος ο κ. Σαμπάνης… μοιάζει με τον Προμηθέα Δεσμώτη που πονά.. αλλά κανείς δεν βλέπει τον πόνο του.., οι κραυγές του προς τους Θεούς είναι τα χρώματα και οι εικόνες του η μυστικιστική του ζάλη κι έξαψή που βρίσκονται φυλακισμένα στους στίχους του και ζητούν ν’απελευθερωθούν. Δεν καταλαβαίνουμε τους μυστικιστές ποιητές αλλά πρέπει να προσπαθήσουμε να τους νοιώσουμε περισσότερο.
Τελειώνοντας αυτό το φιλικό κριτικό σημείωμα να μη ξεχάσω να μιλήσω για το αόρατο βιολί των καιρών μας που όλοι εμείς οι ποιητές θέλουμε να φτάσουμε… που είναι πάνω από την κοσμική ορχήστρα μας και πρέπει να φτάσουμε για να δούμε απλά ότι το κρατά ένας Άγγελος!...Οι Άξιοι φτάνουν εκεί!…
Εύχομαι δυναμική πορεία, υγεία, και πρόοδο στον δημιουργό κ. Χρηστάκη Σαμπάνη.. Όλοι περιμένουμε τόσα πολλά πράγματα από αυτόν τον γεννημένο πολεμιστή που είναι την ίδια στιγμή και τόσο καλός φίλος μαζί μας..
Ευχαριστώ που με κάλεσε κοντά του…
Ευχαριστώ που μ’ακούσατε…

| Christakis Shabanis is a writer in the area of Albanian literature, where surely he has a lot to offer to the world of intellectual thought, surpassing the narrow geographic boundaries of his own country. In this certain time of dramatic political and social developments, where Europe and specially the Balcanic regions are found literally in the eye of the cyclone of the so called New Order of Things, the deep prophetic, restless spirit of Christakis Shabanis travels in his work into a world of new dimensions. Restlessness and optimistic thoughts, uncertainty and certainty, reality and fantasy, realism and mythology, modernism and tradition are presented in a very impressive plot in his work, showing the revealing abilities and the dynamic sources of Christakis Shabanis who sends worldwide messages of very high spiritual values. Sensational love, love, justice equality, hope, are just a few of the elements that the reader may see in Christakis Shabanis’s work. The work that we are now presenting to you is just a small pre-taste of his all literal contribution as we so anxiously expect his new poems to be published in the nearby future. His work:
“The free Prophet”. “The pasture of the Nymhs”. “Man- property of three countries” and “I’m one note more on the stave”.

full of sparkling rays…
The cell of the germans
has tied up your feet…
In Paris
Everyone dances with joy…
The keys go to and fro
on the chest of the woman- guard
like a bell with watches…
The cell ties your feet…
In “ROME” everyone is dancing…
…
Two eyes burn a living heart
in its very first feelings…
They trip your feet, SESILE!..,
“The lover”forgets
the germans’ cell…
In “MADRID” everyone is dancing…
(Really, what is happening in TIRANA;!)
…
Acts are losing their order;
“Two legs so bony and thin
are held up high in the sky

Suddenly the legs are released…
In the cell they are starting again to dance… SESILE!
Really,, what is happening in the CELL
OF QUEEN SESILE;…

| 10. Who wasn’t teased by a hybrid beauty;
She.. brought up in tropical heat…
A great dagger…
Eyes of bewitching “vampires” after their victims...
As they drink the temptation of the well-shaped breasts..
as the breast drips its juices endlessly…
and the Europeans drink it with their very white teeth…
like a ceremony of joy.. everyone pregnant with melodic notes…
The lines close at the final act on the buttocks
that are so smooth and fine that they drill
the flames of passion on a fallen sky
and the flickering of the eye…
Oh, my opinion,
The heat has tied you up with its two hands invisible!..

| Mendime kritike për botën shkrimore të shkrimtarit dhe poetit Kristaq F. Shabani
Nga Vasiliki Kalahani, poete, përkthyese
Korinth, Greqi
Gjithmonë dua të afrohem me dashuri tek shkrimtarët, përpiqem të bëj përpjekje të mëdha të futem në shpirtin e tyre edhe jo të kritikoj në mënyrë të ashpër dhe jo me zemër të mirë (t’i mërzis). Njoh shkrimtarin Kristaq F. Shabani pesë vitet e fundit të jetës sime, po shikoj veprën e tij që botohet në Greqi në revistën “KELENO” të çiftit Andon dhe panajota Zaloni… Atje gjej poezi dhe artikuj të z. Shabani, atje gëzohem nga ai.
Por komunikimi më i thellë midis nesh u bë, kur filloi zoti Shabani të më dërgojë përmbledhje poetike nga Gjirokastra dhe Tirana… dhe atje u çudita shumë dhe kuptova se çfarë mirësi ka njeriu, kur krijoi një Elegji kuptimplotë dhe ma dërgoi në kujtim të djalit tim Panajot Kalahani “Homazh për poetin Panajot Kalahanin”. | |
