Haiku Forge Moments Lost in Time

The works of Zlata and Jože Volarič grew from the relationship of two individuals who’s lives were molded by the hardships and changes brought by the history surrounding them. Out of the horrendous ashes of the Second World War they found their place in Tito’s Yugoslavia. Years later, adapting to the independence of their beloved Slovenia, their works continued to reflect those aspects of life which remain unchanged. Zlata became a renown Slovenian author and painter. Jože, in his own right, became famous for creating amazing welded sculptures. From small flowers to large monuments his work displays a candid look at the human experience. His haiku and other literary works continue this narrative. The haiku of Zlata and Jože Volarič are profound reflection of their fulfilled lives.
