REGINA KRALJ
Hex'n'šus

(79 pages, in Slovene language, illustrated, published in 2002)

A haiku collection by Regina Kralj comes in four cycles: Porno haiku star, Drežnica 5, Karma and Karamela, Vulgata. Dimitar Anakiev states in the foreword that moral questions of contemporary time, alienation and vulgarity make the central and essential themes of the poems. These themes presented through motives of love, erotics and pornography. Anakiev: "Kralj finds herself consciously or unconsciously in the core of the haiku expression: as a contemporary poet which reacts to the worlds around herself and inside herself . As a poet she is able to communicate with the oldest roots of form and shows a masterful specific expression."
