Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the study, it is stated that the profile of Slovak children’s poetry has continued to be shaped especially by the poetics canonized by the generation of the child’s aspect over the past three decades. It also included elements of intertextuality, which, however, has a more conventional character in Slovak children’s poetry (with some exceptions): a combination of poetry and prose, verse and musical notation of a melody, rarely a form of visual-textual narratives. In the second part of the study, the results of a survey on the needs of children in Slovakia at the time of mass media hegemony and the pandemics are briefly indicated. The third part is devoted to the interpretation of the contents of current child’s sense of life in the poetic debuts of Lenka Šafranová and Dávid Dziak and the way of their expression. In the end, the results of the interpretation of the poetic work of both authors are confronted with the results of a survey of current children’s needs.
