Simultaneously with the publication of her latest book, trilingual poetry collec- tion Rujenje/Half of a C / C 的一半, Hočevar authored an exhibition at the Škuc Gallery. Her poetry has been described as “one of those literary voices that are too special, too individual to fit into any poetry school or movement.” (T. Kozin, ARS).
