Fran Galović

During his studies, he joined the youth wing of the Party of Rights movement and became editor for its magazine, Mlada Hrvatska ('Young Croatia').

In 1909, he voluntarily registered for military service, serving as a reservist cadet for the 27th Home Guard Infantry Regiment [hr] in Sisak.

[3][5] Only four of Galović's books were published during his lifetime: Tamara (1907), Četiri grada ('Four Cities', 1913), Začarano ogledalo ('The Enchanted Mirror', 1913) and Ispovijed ('Confession', 1914).

[6] In one of his Kajkavian collections, Z mojih bregov [hr] ('From My Little Hills'), Galović repeated some motifs known from his Štokavian poetry: the drama of leaving the homeland, the impossibility of return, the unattainability of happiness, the anxiety of losing one's roots, the tragedy of transience.

[citation needed] In some poems, impressionistic images of idyllic homeland predominate and some resemble expressionist miniatures with a strong charge of apart sensibility (lonely premonitions of death, unknown "something", pictorial and sound grotesque).
