Selected Poems 1954-1987.
In his poetry, Mihalic attempts to overcome the absurdity of life with his ardent belief in the humanistic role of a poet. Writing in an idiom remarkable for its simplicity, precision, and lyrical fluency, he is considered one of the best of contemporary Croatian poets. This is the first comprehensive bilingual selection of his poetry to appear in the English-speaking world.

Mihalic is regarded as one of the finest poets now writing in Yugoslavia. He is the author of nearly 20 collections of poetry, translated into a number of European languages. He belongs with Herbert, Miroslav Holub, and other Eastern European poets, to a generation that survived unimaginable violence.
Slavko Mihalic was born in 1928 in Karlovac, Croatia. As a journalist, he came to Zagreb, where he worked as an editor and publisher. He was the editor of The Bridge, a periodical in foreign languages. He was also the secretary of the Association of Croatian Writers. For several of his poetic works, Mihalic has been awarded some of the most distinguished literary prize.
