Established by the IA Literary Society in 2022, Črna skrinjica is a boutique publishing house that aims to present young and unknown Slovenian authors who are not noticed or are intentionally overseen by the established publishing houses. Črna skrinjica is mainly devoted to publishing debut poetry collections, poetic dramas, essays and other works on poetry, not necessarily only by young poets. It especially focuses on new, cheeky and edgy poetry that exists at the outer edges of general taste.


Mission

In the words of the poet and editor-in-chief Dejan Koban, the idea for a new publishing house was born in the middle of a devastated, catastrophic literary field. The space for poetry is shrinking, and so are the resources. Young authors are overlooked, and publishing houses are more and more tactically opting for prose, especially novels, as these are more commercially successful. Črna skrinjica resists these trends and gives a chance to poetry that has no place in the established publishing houses, poetry that has a character of its own and bucks poetic trends. The ultimate goal is to show that poetry books are read much more than it might appear at first glance.

Črna skrinjica has its own editorial policy that differs from the editorial mainstream and covers poetry that is less visible and more blurred, poetry that lures you a little further into the woods and a little further down the rabbit hole. The focus is on singular poetics that stand out from the rest – unbridled lyrical currents that hit you straight in the head.

The Črna skrinijca team consists of editor in chief Dejan Koban, co-editor Miha Maurič, graphic designer Jana Kumberger and proofreader Jernej Zupanič.
