Ivan Minatti (22 March 1924 – 9 June 2012) was a Slovene poet , translator , and editor . [ 1 ] He started writing poetry before World War II but principally belongs to the first postwar generation of Slovene poets. [ 2 ] He is one of the best representatives of Slovene Intimism . [ 1 ] Minatti was born in 1924 in Slovenske Konjice in northeastern Slovenia . [ 1 ] His family moved first to Slovenj Gradec and then to Ljubljana while he was still a child. [ 3 ] He attended Gymnasium in Ljubljana, finished it in 1943, and then enrolled in medical studies, but postponed his education to join the Partisans in 1944. [ 4 ] After the war, he studied Slavic studies at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana and graduated in 1952. [ 5 ] He worked as an editor at Mladinska Knjiga publishers from 1947 until his retirement in 1984. [ 3 ] He became a regular member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1991. [ 1 ] He died at the age of 88 [ 1 ] and was buried at Žale in Ljubljana. [ 6 ] Minatti's poems, influenced by the horrors of the war, are lyrical and deal with modern-age resignation and melancholy. [ 1 ] According to the poet Boris A. Novak , his work signified a radical break with collectivist postwar poetry and the start of personal poetry, making Minatti one of the breakthrough Slovene poets of the 20th century. [ 5 ] The poet and translator Veno Taufer characterised him as a rock-steady and, at the same time, of a soft heart, and ascribed his success to his expression of human as well as social distress in postwar Communist Slovenia . [ 5 ] Minatti is known for his references to nature. According to the poet Ciril Zlobec , he used nature as a source of deep symbols and metaphors for man and his life. [ 6 ] Minatti won the Prešeren Fund Award in 1964 for his poetry collection You Have to Love Somebody ( Slovene : Nekoga moraš imeti rad ). [ 7 ] In 1972, he won the Sovre Award , bestowed for the best translations into Slovene, for his translations of lyrical poems by the Macedonian poet Kočo Racin and the Bosnian poet Izet Sarajlić . [ 8 ] In 1985, he won the Prešeren Award for his poetry collection I Listen to the Silence Inside Me ( Prisluškujem tišini v sebi ).
