GOLUB’S FIRST FRUITS IN THE CONTEXT OF HIS POETIC OPUS

Abstract

The article focuses on Ivan Golub’s early poems that have only recently been discovered. They were written in the period between 1951 and 1971, and were first published in 2011 under the title Prvine. By comparing these early Golub’s poems with his later poetic work it was possible to establish that his poetic exhibits a half-century long ideational, stylistic, thematic and formal continuity.
