Jurij Hudolin (born 29 May 1973) is a Slovene poet, writer, columnist and translator. He has published a number of poetry collections and novels and is known for the rich language he uses and a rebellious rejectionist stance towards the world. Hudolin was born in 1973 in Ljubljana. He grew up in Ljubljana and for a while near Pula in Istria before returning to Ljubljana to complete his secondary education and going on to study comparative literature and Serbo-Croatian at the University of Ljubljana. He published his first collection of poetry entitled Če je laž kralj (If Lies are King) in 1991. His columns are regularly published in Mladina, Delo, Dnevnik, Večer and other journals and newspapers and he published a selection of them in a book in 2004 titled Pusti ti to (You Leave That Alone). His poetry has been published in many literary journals and anthologies both at home and abroad and his novels are well received amongst reades and critics alike.
