On 20 May 2023, the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) hosted a special programme presenting the latest collection of poems by the late Luko Paljetak, Croatia\u2019s outstanding writer and Fellow of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paljetak\u2019s latest, and sadly the last poetry collection, dedicated to a distinguished Croatian poet at the turn of the 20th<\/sup> century Dragutin Domjani\u0107 (Kajkavske pjesme<\/em>; Eng. \u201cPoems in Kajkavian\u201d), was presented by the Fellows of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts Kre\u0161imir Nemec, Sibila Petlevski and Miro Gavran, Croatian poet famous for writing in Kajkavian, one of three major Croatian dialects, Bo\u017eica Pa\u017eur and the collection\u2019s editor-in-chief Bo\u017eo Bi\u0161kupi\u0107, along with the Head of the NSK Print Collection Tamara Ili\u0107 Oluji\u0107 and NSK Director General Professor Ivanka Stri\u010devi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homage to Dragutin Domjani\u0107 and Ivan Lovren\u010di\u0107 \u2013 in Paljetak\u2019s Kajkavian verses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Released as part of the Biblioteka Trilix series, launched and edited by Bi\u0161kupi\u0107, the in many ways unique poetry collection features the drawings by 20th<\/sup>-century Croatian painter Ivan Lovren\u010di\u0107, whose many works are preserved as part of the NSK Print Collection<\/a> and were also used as illustrations in the 2023 bibliophile edition with Paljetak\u2019s texts which NSK published in collaboration with Bi\u0161kupi\u0107.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme, attended by the Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 and Croatia\u2019s Minister of Culture and Media Dr Nina Obuljen Kor\u017einek, included a reading of the poems from the collection by Croatian stage and screen actor Jo\u0161ko \u0160evo and the exhibition of selected Paljetak\u2019s works in the Library\u2019s collections among which his famous translations into Croatian of works by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Byron, Wilde, Joyce and other greats of English literature particularly stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A long and successful cooperation whose fruits live on<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luko Paljetak (1943-2024) was the Library\u2019s invaluable collaborator on numerous projects, among which we are especially proud of two as part of which we published the 1980<\/a> and 1990<\/a> poetry-and-print portfolios featuring his masterly verses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author of some 40 poetry collections, a dozen titles of children\u2019s literature, radio plays, numerous editorials, commentaries, treatises and more than the rightful holder of several lifetime achievement and literary awards, Paljetak will be remembered as one of the building blocks of contemporary Croatian literature and culture and the virtuoso in blending the written word into the everlasting creations magically bringing together several arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
