Lara Božak’s (1999) work moves between fields of poetry and music.
In 2023, her debut poetry collection Z luknjami v prepihu (With holes in the draft) was published by Črna skrinjica, nominated for best literary debut of the year by the Slovenian Writers’ Association at the 39th Slovenian Book Fair and selected for critical review at Pranger – Festival of poetry criticism, translation and reading. In May 2025, her second poetry collection Kap lje kap lje (Dro ps dro ps) was published by Založba Pivec. She likes to interweave her recitals with concepts of free improvised sound.
She is a master’s student of Humanities in Ljubljana and a member of the Slovene PEN Center. As a singer she performs in an ethno-jazz duo Peta stran neba (Fifth side of the sky).
