In accordance with the renewed interest in the sonnet form in Slovene poetry of the 1930s, sonnets are represented in the poetry works of Vida Taufer (1903-1966) and Lili Novy (1885-1958). In the poetry collection Veje v vetru (Branches in the Wind) (1939) Vida Taufer connected sonnets three times into a three-piece cycle, while in her collection Temna vrata (Dark Doors) (1941), Lili Novy linked them only once to form a sonnet diptych. With their recognised personal poetics, they arranged these short cycles into a noticeable conceptual and compositional whole.
