Gregor Strniša (1930-1987) remains one of the greatest modern Slovenian poets, highly influential to the new generations of poetry writers. Space (outer space) is probably his most elaborate concept, which he speaks about at the beginning of his essay in the book called “Space”. He assembled this book from his space-oriented opus. This is not a chronological nor anthological review and summary of his poetry, but rather a newly compiled thematic selection following the principles of the topic of space.
