Space and the poetry of Gregor Strniša

Gregor Strniša (1930-1987) remains one of the greatest modern Slovenian poets, highly influential to the new generations of poetry writers. Space - outer space - is probably his most elaborate concept, which he speaks about at the beginning of his essay in the book called “Space”.

He assembled this book from his space-oriented opus. This is not a chronological nor anthological review and summary of his poetry, but rather a newly compiled thematic selection following the principles of the topic of space. The book is translated into English by Nada Grošelj and Jason Blake.

Slovenian poet and singer-songwriter, Matej Krajnc, created an album of selected Strniša’s poems with music. Nada and Matej are introducing Gregor Strniša’s poetry with music to the London audience for the first time!
