SYNESTETIKA


Debut poetry collection moving between personal experience and broader affective landscapes. It's addressing themes central to a younger generation—precarity, vulnerability, and the search for identity. Formally, it combines two modes of writing: linear poems and visual/graphic compositions, in which text operates as both image and structure. The collection received the Ivan Krasko Award for Best Debut (2025) and has been reflected in several critical reviews across Slovak and Czech literary platforms.
