Pavcek, Tone (text) Gatnik, Kostja (illus.) Majnice. Fulaste pesmi (Catkins. Whacky poems) Ljubljana: Zalozba Mladika, 1997. 83pp ISBN 961-205-058-9 Love - Poetry Tone Pavcek’s love poetry, written especially with male teenagers in mind, make use of their generation’s cool style and jargon but still reveal an emotional depth. The author takes the coolness and airs of young people quite seriously, but also gives an ironic touch to his portraits of this kind of self-posturing. The excellent illustrations by Kostja Gatnik incorporate elements of caricature and graffiti with a simplicity that fits well with the style of the poems. (12+)
