In the corpus of Slovene literature, Neža Maurer's poetry (1930) surprises with a commitment to vitalism, original erotic images, descriptions of motherhood and family connection, and above all a contemplation of a social organisation that transfers the ethics of care from the private to the public sphere. Due to her deep trust in vitalism, her poetry represents an important alternative to modernist nihilism, which is characterised by the disintegration of external reality and the destruction of the subject's intimacy.
