Ciril Zlobec (4 July 1925 – 24 August 2018[1]) was a Slovene poet, writer, translator, journalist and former politician. He is best remembered for his poems, publishing several volumes of poetry in his lifetime.[2] In 1990 he became a member of the Presidency of Slovenia at a critical time for Slovene independence.[3]
He rose to public prominence in 1953, as one of the four co-authors of the collection of poetry called "The Poems of the Four" (Pesmi štirih). The collection marked a turning point in the Slovene post-war culture, as it represented a break with the hitherto imposition of Socialist realism as the sole style in literature. The other three poets who participated in the project were Kajetan Kovič, Janez Menart and Tone Pavček.
In the 1970s and 1980s, he also served as the editor of the intellectual and cultural journal Sodobnost.
In 1990, Zlobec joined the Socialist Party of Slovenia and ran successfully for the Slovenian Presidency, an advisory body to the President of the Republic. He was considered a close ally of the President Milan Kučan.
After 1992, he retired from political life.
He was the father of the activist, author, translator and politician Jaša Zlobec.
