/ world today news/ Without any reason, and even without the help of Google, a distant memory came to me. Then Peño Penev was still a favorite folk poet.
He was born in the Sevlievo village of Dobromirka, studied in Sevlievo, but became a real artist in Dimitrovgrad. So the three settlements argued – whose is Peño?
Stupid argument, because it was Bulgaria’s.
And in this excitement, his admirer and the head of a bus station in Gabrovsko, took to Kurdisa a huge slogan, a verse from Peño: “On the way! – A man is a man when he is on the road!”.
The garage manager had understood the poet’s poetic complaint very specifically and had brought him into the traffic of the rattling “Chavdar” buses. Now I think fondly of his naivety, but it seems to me that the scarier thing is something else – no one reads Peño Penev. To be more precise – there are already two generations who don’t even know if he was a poet or a bus station manager.
