On the 100th anniversary of poet Antun Branko Šimić's passing, Marulić Days presents a special evening where this great poet returns among us. Designed as a poetic, educational, and interactive gathering, the evening brings together professors, students, and all poetry lovers, inviting them to immerse themselves in the words, sounds, and thoughts of one of Croatia's most significant literary voices.

Šimić is not merely a guest of this evening—he is a conversation partner, an inspiration, and a guide. By interpreting his verses, analyses, discussions, and reflections, the audience will have the opportunity to discover the depth of his poetics, understand his modernity and vision, and reflect on whether we are still "small beneath the stars."

How did A. B. Šimić transform Croatian poetry? How does his voice resonate now, a hundred years later? What does it mean to be a poet in a time that disregards poets? These and many other questions will be explored together with Šimić, through his poetic legacy that remains indelible.
