Srečko Kosovel (born March 18, 1904 in Sežana , Austria-Hungary , (now Slovenia ); died May 26, 1926 in Tomadio, Italy , until 1918 and since 1945 Tomaj , Sežana municipality, Slovenia) was a Slovenian poet.

Life

Srečko Kosovel's parents were Anton Kosovel and Katarina, née Streš, he was the fifth child. Kosovel grew up in the village of Tomaj. During the First World War, there was a main battle line at his home town from 1915 , which is why he was housed with a sister in Ljubljana . In 1919/1920 his first serious attempts at writing began. From 1922 he studied Romance Studies , Slavic Studies , Comparative Literature , Philosophy and Art History at the University of Ljubljana in what was now the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes . He wrote articles for the magazine Lepa Vida , published by Slovenian students who, like him, came from the Italian Julisch Veneto and could not study there. Kosovel now came into contact with the avant-garde literature of the post-war period. In autumn 1923 he founded the "Ivan Cankar Club", named after the Slovenian poet Ivan Cankar, who died in 1918 . With Ivo Grahor he founded the magazine Vidovdan . In collaboration with the Bauhaus student Avgust Černigoj (1898–1985), he also planned to publish the constructivist magazine KONS , but this was not realized. In 1925 he also joined the socialist magazine Mladina . In turning away from the impressionist style influenced by Josip Murn , he switched to a constructivist written poetry. Kosovel put together two volumes of poetry during his lifetime, Zlati čoln ( The Golden Boat ) and Integrali ( Integrale ). In the midst of these activities, Kosovel died in his hometown of meningitis after suffering from a severe cold .

aftermath

Kosovels friend Alfonz Gspan edited a booklet with 66 unpublished works in 1927. In 1946 Anton Ocvirk published the collected works. The later works were only published in 1967 under the title "Integrali '26". On his 100th birthday in 2004, efforts were made to fully catalog the work and also to translate parts of it into other languages.
