Faslli Haliti, poet, was born in Plug of Lushnje. He attended the “Jordan Misja” artistic high school for painting and higher studies in the branch of Albanian language and literature at the University of Tirana (1977). He worked in Lushnje as a teacher of drawing and literature (1961-1973). For “ideological errors” in poetic creativity, he was sent for “re-education” as a worker (1973-1983). He has published the volumes “Sot” (“Today”) (1969), “Mesazhe fushe” (“Field messages”)(1984), “S’di të hesht” (“I don’t know how to be silent”)(1997), “Kaq” (“That’s it”) (2005), “Kujt t’i besoj” (“Whom to trust”) (2006), etc., as well as children’s poetry books. He has an original style, where metaphorical discourse is naturally interwoven with direct social issues. Faslli Haliti tends towards a synthetic poetry with diverse narrative situations, which in many cases aim to artistically convey moral and philosophical messages, in the form of poetic aphorisms. He has also dealt with translations from Russian, Spanish and Italian poetry. He was a deputy in the Parliament of Albania in 1998-2001. He passed away in 2020. (In the photo: Faslli Haliti)
