Today is Prešeren Day in Slovenia (aka the Day of National Culture): the death anniversary of Francè Prešeren (1800-1849), the country's beloved poet. For the third year in a row, Michael M. of The Glory of Carniola celebrates it by interviewing the poet's living namesake (this year it's Matjaž Prešeren, 32, of Maribor).
