“Winged Hum” is a collection of selected poems by Barbara Korun, not yet published in Slovenia, but prepared specially for the first publication in Croatia. This is a selection of poems from three poem collections by this author – a collection of poems “The Sharpness of Mildness” (Ljubljana, 1999), a collection of prose poems “Notes below the Table” (Ljubljana, 2003) and poems “Cracks” (Ljubljana 2004). A collection of poems “Sharpness of Mildness” has an erotic overtone, while the uniqueness of this poetic lettering lies in interweaving of powerful metaphors, sensitive directness and reflexive sharpness. A collection “Notes below the Table” comprises prose-poetic records drawing readers’ attention with unexpected turning points and luscious weaving of poetic reflections. A collection called “Cracks” has on the same traits of sensitive shrewdness, abundant metaphors and lyric hues. “Winged Hum” thus represents a selection consistent with lyric, erotic and metaphoric guiding of the whole poetic performance of Barbara Korun, a prominent representative of contemporary Slovenian poetry. The book was published with the support by Trubar’s Foundation of the Society of Slovenian Writers.
