I was born 1954, studied and worked in Zagreb, Croatia. Since 1985 I've lived in Velika Gorica, near Zagreb. Electronics engineer. As development engineer I had got more plaquettes and acknowledgements on specialised exhibitions of inventions and technical novelties.

 

Writing poetry of all styles, from free verses, sonet, to haiku, in Croatian literary language, in Kajkavian dialect and, sometimes, in English. My first novel, "Vode teku dalje" ("Waters are continuing to flow") won the literary prize award "Albatros" for 2004. First chapter of my unpublished novel "Akvamarin" won the main prize at the "Inmag" publisher's competition "My story".

 

I'm a member of the Association of Artists "Spark" from Velika Gorica and of the poetry group "Jutro poezije" ("Poetry Morning"). I present my literary work, mostly poetry, on tribunes, poetry evenings and festivals, on the radio... Since the May 2007 I have become the first foreign member of the English writers' group "The Inn Scribers" from Harlow.

 

Since 2005 my poetry was performed on festivals of Kajkavian lyrics and music (KUD "Kustošija, Zagreb"), "Cest is d'best Festival" (Zagreb), 2nd Music Festival of Velika Gorica, it is printed in many books, magazines and almanacs... Some of my poems are set to music.

 

I'm also writing tales and poetry for children.
