5 Slovenian poets on a

Literary walkabout -
at RMIT, School of Creative
Media on 2 August, 2001, in
Melbourne

Maja Vidmar
Dark lady of erotic poetry.
Her poetry is distilled,
sensual, enabling
consciousness to rid itself of
the surplus weight of the
body

Evald Flisar
His heroes are on a quest for
self-knowledge, revelation,
meaning, remaining at the
same time acutely aware of
the fact that they bear what
they seek inside them.

Andrej Blatnik
The leading Slovenian poet
of post-modenism - minimalist
use of language, sharp-witted
and funny dialogues and the
dispassionateness of the
characters who deal with every
possible conflict or passion by
talking, replacing any form of
action with verbalisation

Tomaž Šalamun
Poetry not of rebellion but of
quest; also poetry of puzzlement,
Lela B Njatin taking one “to unknown lands,
A modernist acceptance of mythical and mystical landscapes
the consciousness being of the mind”
the main creator and
ordering principle of the
world
