At the Edge of Summer: Andrej Rozman Roza
The Miran Jarc Library Novo Mesto invites you to an event in the At the Edge of Summer series, taking place on Thursday, 3 September 2026, at 6.00 pm in the Park of the Growing Book.
Andrej Rozman Roza: A Cure for Time
This substantial volume brings together all of Andrej Rozman Roza’s poetry for adult readers, written between 1982 and 2025 and conceived in the author’s remarkably versatile creative mind.
Andrej Rozman Roza writes for both children and adults, translates, directs, performs and acts, and runs his own theatre, Rozinteater. He creates performances for children, writes poetry and short fiction, and authors texts for theatrical productions. He is also well known for adapting works by major figures of Slovenian and world literature, including Molière, William Shakespeare and France Prešeren. His writing is characterised by inventive language, colloquial expressions and slang, which he uses to great effect. He has received numerous awards, including the Prešeren Fund Award for literature in 2010 and the Levstik Award for Lifetime Achievement in original fiction in 2021.
Join us for an evening of poetry with a poet who has expanded the possibilities of the Slovenian language, loosened its conventions, turned it upside down and infused it with the vitality of the spoken word.
The conversation will be moderated by Carmen L. Oven.
The event will be held in Slovenian.
