Jure Detela

Jure Detela (12 February 1951 – 17 January 1992) was a Slovene poet, writer, and essayist.

In his college years he collaborated with the poet Iztok Osojnik and sociologist Iztok Saksida in publishing their Podrealistični manifest (The Sub-Realist Manifesto) in 1979, and he later participated in the avantgarde group Pisarna Aleph (Aleph Office).

Apart from poetry, he also published the autobiographical novel Pod strašnimi očmi pontonskih mostov (Under the Scary Eyes of Pontoon Bridges) in 1988.

[3] The 32nd Biennial of Graphic Arts (2017) in Ljubljana takes its title Birth as Criterion from one of Detela's poems as translated by Raymond Miller.
