Skender Rusi, the great Korchar poet, would celebrate his 72nd birthday. Today he is no more, but he has left behind a great legacy in Albanian literature with the wonderful poems he has created over the years. Skender Rusi has dedicated verses to life, love, pain, the city of his heart, Korça. Poets only deserve to have birthdays, and for this reason, on this marked day, a poetic evening took place in the premises of the Digital Arts Gallery. Part of this evening were family members, friends and colleagues of the lyricist Korçar, who passed away on May 31 of this year.

Eris Rusi, Skender's son, translator and writer, on this anniversary of his father's birthday, expressed that the man is missing but not his soul. Full of strong emotions this evening, he recalls his father's voice through the poems he left behind, which gives him even more strength to move forward and honor the memory of the great Skender Rusi.

"Today, on this poet's birthday, the man is missing, but not his soul, and poets, creators and lovers of the poetic word were present at a meeting that conveyed that the poet's spirit lives on in his books and will remain so from reader to reader. I personally experienced the presence of family members, who came not only for their loved ones but especially for the poet and conveyed their intimate love by interpreting it in his verses it's the fate of the creators, they know how to be present, they know how to smile from above even when their physical life ends while their spiritual life is eternity. The moment a poem is read and the poet remembers the moment when that poem has begun to be written. And the human soul always experiences the pain of flight, when the flight is final. One of the sweetest things about my father is not only his poetry but also his voice of Skënder that are interpreted brings his voice within itself. This makes me feel stronger, I feel emotion but enjoy the creations of the poet to the end."

Erisi also gave the special news that the manuscripts and unpublished poems created by the poet are expected to be brought soon to all art lovers, including their inclusion in school textbooks to convey values ??to students and students who are passionate about literature. .

"There are endless manuscripts that are waiting to be taken in hand by the family, by the professionals who will take care of the publication of what is the creativity of what is unpublished by the poet Skender Rusi. I believe that even for the researchers of literature, this will be an opportunity for the literary creativity of the lyricist Skënder Rusi to be a creativity that is included not only in studies but also in textbooks as a creativity that knows how to convey genuine values ??to students, to students, to readers of good literature In our country."

For the dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Korça, Jonela Spaho, the absence of Skënder Rusi is greatly felt in the entire family, social, academic circle, as well as in the entire city. Spaho has had an almost 30-year acquaintance with the Korça lyricist, where during these years she has been amazed and inspired by his beautiful verses. With a lot of nostalgia, she shares some of her most special memories with the lyric poet, saying that she is in every verse and every sound of the song about the city.

"He is missing a lot and it's a lack, it's a void, I'm talking about the physical absence because it leaves a visible void in the hearts of family members and friends and all lovers of poetry. But on the other hand, I think that he is here among us, in every verse in every sound in every music that flows in his verses and that is so dear to the soul. I have had a long acquaintance with Skenderi since I was a teenager and I first encountered his poetry and marveled, I learned it by heart, I was inspired by it. I had it as a close friend, but in my mind and memory it remained as I met it for the first time, a sensitive, loving, worldly person who knew how to He judged things only with the principle of good. He tried to see this in every verse of his. That's why I say that one of Skender's main values, which is unique and unrepeatable, is humanism a beautiful, special abyss that penetrates into every cell of the soul and gives you the desire to become better, to love people more, to love more the city where you were born, even the birds that fly and the trees that bloom, the flowers and the lindens, the songs, the serenades, that is, all of Korca because in that Korca that he described is all of Albania."

One of the poet's friends, professor Ilir Shyta, mentioning the verses of Mikele Hernandes, said that poets never die. For him, Skënder Rusi remains a personality for contemporary Albanian lyrics, giving it a very interesting dimension.

"Actually, it's an emotional evening to celebrate the birthday of a person who is already in heaven, it's a beautiful thing. Birthdays are also celebrated in heaven, that's how it is in the case of Skender Rus, as it will happen in the case of Kadare, now they belong heaven. I will call Skender Rusi a personality in Albanian literature, at least as far as contemporary Albanian lyrics are concerned, as he gave a very interesting dimension, so to speak, to the people. Skender Rusi remains lyrical from the beginning to the end of his writing In my speech, I mentioned the verses of a Spanish poet, Miguel Hernandez, who says: "Even if I'm underground, don't tell me that I'm dead, I'll write on the ground, which would mean every moment with the poets." who do not die, with writers, with artists who gain their eternal immortality."

On the 72nd anniversary of the birth of the great Skender Rusi, the poetic evening in his honor brought great emotions to family members, friends and literature enthusiasts. During this evening, there were also tears and the feeling of the lyricist's physical absence, which will remain alive in the works he left behind. The best news remains that of his son, Eris, who will soon bring those verses and manuscripts that Skender Rusi left unpublished./ CNA
