Ivan Slamnig

Ivan Slamnig was born in Metković in 1930, went to school in Metković, Dubrovnik and the classical gymnasium in Zagreb, and in 1955 completed a degree in literature in that city, where he subsequently taught comparative literature. He belonged to the generation of the journal Krugovi, which broke free of socialist realism. Above all a poet, he played with slang, dialect, foreign words and the literary tradition; he also wrote short stories, radio plays and a study of Croatian versification, and translated from English, Russian, Italian and Swedish. He died in Zagreb in 2001.
