Abstract

This paper considers the urban space as depicted in Dragan Lukić’s poetry and prose, with a particular focus on third places for children. Lukić introduced a new sensibility into Yugoslav children’s poetry after World War II, building on the avant-garde heritage of the 1930s and creating accessible texts for contemporary children. His poetry and prose integrated the new loci of urban third places, construing them as zones for play and children’s autonomy, while highlighting the importance of the community for children’s development.
