This work deals with Milovan Danojlic’s focus upon the concept of naïve
poetry, which had far-reaching poetic reflections in his literary system. The work is
divided into seven thematic sections. !fter the introductory chapter, in which the
relevant stimuli for dealing with the subject matter in the title are stated, the second
chapter examines the literary-historical and poetic context of Milovan Danojlic’s early
poetry, as well the conditions for turning towards a new productive core – children's
poetry, which will lead the poet towards the poetics of ultimate simplicity. The third
chapter expounds on the theoretical propositions concerning the concept of naïve poem
via Danojlic’s precise description of the nature and function of literature for children. It
can be said that it is exactly in the theoretical discourse of this concept, which was
initiated by Danojlic’s treatises and essays from the end of the 1950s and the beginning
of the 1960s, that can for the first time be discernib...le that which can be called
differentia specifica of literature for children within Serbian literature. The fourth
chapter deals with the terminological specificities of the notion of naïve poem as seen
from the relevant literary-historical and theoretical aspects. The fifth chapter is oriented
towards the examination of the links between Danojlic’s theoretical pattern of poetry for
children and the very poetry, through the stylistic, thematic and chronological survey of
his collections of poetry for children. The sixth chapter introduces the consideration of
Danojlic’s prose about childhood, which is according to its certain characteristics
subsumed under the domain of naïve literature, and exactly within the boundaries set by
the author himself. The last, seventh, chapter deals with the picture of childhood in
Danojlic’s poetry and prose, since the phenomenon of childhood and growing up
appears to be the key connective tissue between these two literary corpora.
