Lyric tendencies can be distinctly identified in the prose of the 1940s within the literature of the Slovak national minority in Vojvodina, Serbia; however, they only began to gain wider acceptance in subsequent decades. In the 1960s, the lyricization of prose was regarded as a significant innovative development, reflecting the influence of contemporary artistic trends on Slovak Vojvodinian literature from both Yugoslav and international perspectives. The poets Ján Labáth (1926–2018) and Viera Benková (b. 1939) made significant contributions through their prose to transcending prevailing realist artistic methods and advancing the evolution of neo-modernist poetics. Their prose is marked by subjectivity, an internalized perspective on events, and the use of the stream of consciousness technique. The focus on the sujet was evident in the nonlinear narrative and the frequent changes in temporal and spatial relationships. A common characteristic was the interplay between narrative and meditative reflective elements. Typical features of their prose include poetic expressive techniques, a rich use of metaphors and figures of repetition, and a general inclination towards ornate expression.
