Summary/Abstract: In the contribution i offer an analysis of the central stage of Hlbina’s creative period, when he was a well-established author who published poetry magazines and also various poetry considerations, but he was still alone and the only author of Slovak modern spiritual poetry. The greatest contribution of Hlbina poetry is seen in the application of the new authentic form of spirituality that he has achieved through his own creation of poetic prayer as a reliable medium between God and the poet. The aiming of the poetic expression of the poetic expression through the play with the word meant for Hlbina the corresponding form of new spirituality and at the same time clarification of the contemporary Slovak poetry by applying the elements of avant-garde. In the collection of Cesta do raja, Hlbina attempted to combine seemingly unrelated: new individual poetic vision and expression with traditional belief. It moves between Franciscan humility, overexposed simplicity, faithfulness to the tradition of Christian literature, and therefore does not impose biblical motifs, saints, prayers, traditional symbols.
