    The specific development of the Prekmurje literature is linked with the for centuries ongoing separation of the Prekmurje people from the central Slovene milieu. In the first decades of the 20th ... century, i. e. the time before the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy disintegrated, the Catholic periodical (Kalendar Srca Jezušovega (The Calendar of The Heart of Jesus), Marijin list (periodical dedicated to St. Mary) and Novine (News) beside poems by August Pavel published also poems in the Prekmurje dialect by Jožef Baša Miroslav from Beltinci, who, like his compatriot Štefan Kuehar, was also a zealous collector of Prekmurje folk songs and a researcher of the Slovene cultural history. As the dividing-line along the Mura river strengthened, the Baša family became increasingly aware of the necessity to unite the Prekmurje Slovenes with the core of the Slovene nation in the central parts of Slovenia.B ut it was also firmly embedded in its home cultural environment. In numerous poems, Jožef Baša Miroslav expressed his strong affection toward his home and Slovenehood, borne from home even as he was a pupil at the Hungarian grammar school in Koeszeg and a student of theology in Sombatel. Already in his early years with his family, he became familiar with the books and language central Slovenia language, as his father was a commissioner of the family Mohor, while the poet's brother Ivan was a priest in Bogojina. Vilko Novak, who issued a selection of his poems entitled Prekmurske pesmi (Prekmurje Poems) (1936) to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his death, reports that Jožef Miroslav Baša started writing poems early in life and wrote the greater part of his opus in his teens. The poet's life sadly ended at the age of twenty-two. But approximately two-hundred preserved Slovene poems, some attempts at short prose, poems in Hungarian and translations from Hungarian and German bear witness to Baša's exceptional creativity. Being a Prekmurje poet from the beginning of the 20th century, he - in the framework of religious, patriotic, military and above all lyrical poems about his restless and almost unbearable yearning for home and his family - formed a distinct poetic style. The analysis of the language and style of his poems shows that he created poems in accordance with the Prekmurje language standard, and that he based his work on folk songs, intertwining into it recognisable Gregorčič's stylistic elements. Baša's poems in their own unique way unite the Prekmurje dialect with the vocabulary of the central Slovene language, and at the same time point out the language problems with which the author was confronted.
