Ivan Slamnig was a Croatian poet, novelist, literary theorist and translator.

Slamnig was born in Metković. He graduated from the University of Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in 1955 and later taught at its Department of Comparative Literature.

Slamnig is considered one of the most important Croatian poets of the 20th century. His laconic, humor-infused modernist poetry is difficult to categorize, and proved popular with the critics and the public alike. His poem "Barbara", set to music by Zvonko Špišić, was a hit in 1975.

Slamnig was a full member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts since 1992. ...more

Quotes by Ivan Slamnig (?)

“Kultura se stvara u sukobu

Kultura se stvara u sukobu
a barbarstvo takođe.
Kulturu upoznah u Montecatiniju
barbarstvo kod svog rođe.

Rođo na barbarstvo ne misli
ni topličar na kulturu:
jedan misli na zavarivanje
drugi na uspješnu kuru

al onaj što hoda po tanahnoj međi
ispunja me revoltom
onu dvojicu pozdravljam naklonom
njega bih mogao koltom.”
― Ivan Slamnig, Sabrane pjesme

“KAD mi svega bude dosta
evo oči, da ću poći
k onome, što d o l j e osta.

Ne ću činit više, bome
ono, što do sada morah,
sjesti ću pod stari orah
(sličan o n o m pokojnome!),

stol će prostrt bit bjelinom,
za nj ću sjesti, pa ću jesti
kruh sa sirom, ribu s vinom.”
― Ivan Slamnig, Aleja poslije svečanosti

“Volim krajeve gdje ima mnogo vlage
gdje rastu travnjaci, lukovice i gomolji
I sve kiselkasto vonja po stajskom gnoju

ali podivljam u kraju gdje se
slana voda i stijenje biju jedno o drugo
(zalijevaj cvijeće morem a posadi ga u kamen)

Tu žive oni koji umiju
ne umrijeti, već se pretvoriti u živu mumiju.”
― Ivan Slamnig, Ranjeni tenk
