Summary/Abstract: This scholarly text provides an analytical-interpretative perspective of current literary work for children of the contemporary Vojvodinian Slovak writer Zoroslav (Spevák) Jesenský (1956). The author of this text focuses on Jesenský’s work after 2015, especially on his poetry for children published in eight poetry collections. The author particularly observed the circumstances of Jesenský’s return to children’s literature, his main creative postulates and program focus, the main motifs, shapes and thematic, expressive and the overall poetic characteristics of his poetry for children. This text registers and evaluates the (un)balanced representation of several functions of artistic text for children in individual collections.
