She left her birthplace in the early age, but she kept returning to it, looking for peace and inspiration from her early childhood. From a very young age, she made her own way dedicating herself to literary work and becoming the first Croatian woman to live for and off literature. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7170 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tz-zlarin.hr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/vesna.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tz-zlarin.hr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/vesna.png 635w, https:\/\/www.tz-zlarin.hr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/vesna-300x219.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tz-zlarin.hr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/vesna-480x350.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vesna Parun was a Croatian poet, considered the most renowned figure in Croatian poetry and children\u2019s literature in the second half of the 20th ct.
