He explores the poet's contacts ivith the greatest Slovenian writers of the time (Cankar, Kette, etc.), his activities in thè literary field (including thè works published in literary magazines), his retreat into private life, and tragic death during World War I in the ranks of the Austro-Hungarian Army.
