THE FIRST CROATIAN POETRY MAGAZINE

The paper deals with the emergence and format of the Poetry magazine, first published in Split in 1941. It was the first national genre magazine and the first specialized magazine for poetry. It was launched, published, edited and mostly written by Split lawyer, poet, storyteller and translator Branko Storov (Split, 1899 - ?). Storov was a man of culture, well versed in the world of literature, with a refined taste and clear preferences in poetry. Poetry remains, first and foremost, a private enthusiastic project launched in a turbulent era and therefore marginal, so it fell relatively quickly into oblivion.
