The paper deals with the poetry of Pavol Gašparovič Hlbina written in the second half of the 1930s, when the author was one of the most productive Slovak poets, reviewers, translators, and literary aestheticians. It traces the causes of changes in his poetics used especially in the collection of poems Dúha (The Rainbow, 1937) as well as his relations to his close collaborator Rudolf Dilong (1905 – 1986), mainly in the context of their editorial activities in the magazines associated with Catholic Modernism (Postup and Prameň). It outlines the author´s poetry in the context of Slovak modification of poetism and maps his views on surrealism. When the collection Dúha (The Rainbow, 1937) was published, Hlbina was closely following the rising surrealist tendencies in the Slovak literary environment and writing numerous reflections on them. This collection of poems also represents the modern variant of his poetry. The other variant is religious poetry; this type of poetics was used when cooperating on an extensive project of St Adalbert Association, which was the Unified Catholic Hymnbook, published in 1937.

The Slovak reception of Rilke began in 1912 but during the next three decades it was restricted to publications of single poems and short stories in papers and magazines. It was not until 1942-1949 that a more intense research of Rilke´s work began, especially in the work of the Catholic modernist (Hanus, Hlbina, Javor, Silan, Šprinc, Strmeň) and partially the surrealist Lenko. After the communist overturn in February 1948 it was stopped and only twenty years later Válek could continue. Even in the era of “normalisation” it continued with re-editions of Válek´s translations and in the end of the 1980s it experienced ascension thanks to Šabík. After the Gentle Revolution there were publications by Šabík, Gáll, Bžoch, Šimon and Richter.

During the Second World War, Jozef Tiso (1887 – 1947), a Catholic priest, leader of the governing Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party, and President of the Slovak State (1939 – 1945), a client state of Nazi Germany, had become an object of political cult that persisted after 1945. After being sentenced to death by the National Court in Bratislava and executed by hanging on 18 April 1947, Tiso was ultimately turned into a martyr in the eyes of the Hlinka’s Party wartime regime’s supporters. His image as a “martyr of the nation, state, Christian faith and the Church” has been formed mainly by those who fled the communist regime and remained in exile from the late 1940s until 1990s. Tiso’s “sacrifice” was massively reflected in exile poetry. The poetry of the Catholic modernist group as well as poems written by occasional poets of nationalistic orientation strongly contributed to the creation of the persona of Jozef Tiso as a martyr – a myth which did not disappear from Slovak politics and culture even after the fall of the communist regime in 1989. Against the background of Tiso’s cult genesis and formation, the article analyses the semiotic dimension of politically engaged poetry, which has shaped his sacralised image in recent decades and led part of Slovak nationalistic organisations in the post-communist milieu to efforts for judicial and moral rehabilitation of Jozef Tiso, as well as his ecclesiastical beatification.
