Parun, Vesna (1922–)
Parun, Vesna (1922–)
Croatian poet. Born April 10, 1922, on the island of Zlarin, near Sibenik; attended University of Zagreb.
One of her country's most controversial and influential poets, published 1st collection of poems, Zore i vihori (Dawns and Gales, 1947), considered by some to be her best work, though it was attacked for being out of step with the prevailing school of Socialist Realism; silenced for a time, did not publish another collection until Crna maslina (The Black Olive Tree, 1955); over next decade, published several more volumes, focusing on personal rather than political issues and detailing a number of blissful but short-lived romantic relationships.
