Summary/Abstract: The proposed article examines the Slovak Trnava group and the use of children's memory in the poetical works and manifestos of its representatives as a “therapeutic alternative” to the existing ideological discourse of the second half of the 20th century. The writers find an opportunity for free expression in the field of children’s literature which they furthermore discuss in one of their manifestos, “There will be a talk about children's poetry.” The focus of the study could be defined as the “therapeutic mechanisms” of returning to childhood memory found both in the truly aesthetically conceived presence of Slovak writers in literature and in their own texts.
