Boris A. Novak

Poet, author, playwright, essayist, translator. His work is intended for both children and adults. Boris A. Novak is known as an extremely disciplined and confident author, whose works, however, never lack playful and humorous imagination. Playing all the while with sounds, words, and forms, he presents his readers with new poetic forms, previously unseen in Slovenian.
