archív: písmo blúdiace labyrintom
každé slovo vrhá iný tieň: unavená
z ich uhádnutia (súkromné Delfy)
červený vietor sa zdvihne: prečíta
teba mňa nás: priniesli sme správne
obetné dary zmieri nás to so
svet(l)om? priesvitné vokály polo-
priepustné membrány konsonanty
poviem á: nech ma sa objaví b
(ani posledné zet už nie je veľmi ďaleko)
v mrazivom priestore tela (básne)

* 14.06.1942, Budapest, المجر
يعيش في: Bratislava, سلوفاكيا

Mila Haugová (born in 1942 in Budapest) lives in Bratislava and Levice.

The daughter of a Hungarian mother and a Slovakian father, Haugová grew up bilingual and was one of the first women writers to gain attention with feminist poems in the Czechoslovakia of the 1980s.

Haugová’s father was an agronomist and was jailed as a class enemy, which meant that Haugová was not permitted to study Slovakian Language and Literature and German. Instead she studied Agriculture from 1959 to 1964, subsequently working as an agronomist, then as a teacher. In 1968 she emigrated to Canada, returning after one year. From 1986 to 1996 Haugová worked in the editorial section of the literary journal Romboid.

Haugová started writing poems in the early 1970s and published the first of them in 1980 under the pseudonym Mila Srnková. She sees her collection Premenlivý povrch (Changeable Surface, 1983) as her real debut. She achieved a breakthrough with Èisté dni (Pure Days, 1990).
Since then she has published nearly twenty collections of verse in Slovakian which have been translated into English, French, Polish, Russian and German and translations from German, English and Hungarian.

Her poetry is always allusive. Nature, eroticism, memory and loss are inseparably interwoven in her poems which are fragile and full of power at the same time. Between the lines of her poems lurk references to such writers as Ingeborg Bachmann, Sylvia Plath, Friederike Mayröcker, Paul Celan and Georg Trakl.
