Karolina Kolmanič
Karolina Kolmanič was born in Lomanoše by Gornja Radgona. As a teacher, she got to know joyful and dark shades of life in the Slovenian (Prekmurje and Styria) countryside and this exact social web is a common theme of her novels, short stories and other prose scripts. Tiny images of everyday life were published in various journals and magazines at home and abroad. She has also translated works from foreign literature (Helga Blaschke-Pal, Martin Altwood, Enelia Paz Gomez …). Several of her works are translated into foreign languages, most recently, the tale Farewell, Silver Bird was published in English translation. (Farewell, Silver Bird, Texture Press, USA). She is a permanent member of the Literary Society Plesse Bovenden of Göttingen and a member of the Slovenian PEN club. She has not devoted herself systematically to poetry, but several of her poems were set to music (Prekmurje Land, Our Journey and many others).
