Abstract
The author, on the basis of documents and some lesser known
or unknown facts from the life of the poet and writer Rajmund
Kupareo, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth, discusses
his links and relations with his birthplace Vrboska. It’s a series
of ten recognized links between Vrboska and this poet and priest,
who spent most of his life outside of his homeland, and these are:
birth, origin, homeland, home, baptism, childhood, his serving at
Mass, First Mass, family tomb and literary works. These links were
deeply incorporated into his life and priesthood and intensively
influenced on his literary achievements. The author holds that the
understanding of these links helps to authentically interpret the
works and activities of this writer, who is not sufficiently known to
Croatian cultural public. In this regard, the data that the author
offers to the public are useful for literary historiography and
contribute to the understanding and appreciation of the figure and
literary work of Friar Rajmund Kupareo.
