Adem Zaplluzha (1 February 1943 – 9 November 2020) was one of the most prolific Kosovan Albanian poets.[1] He completed his primary and secondary education in his hometown, Prizren, and graduated from the School of Pedagogy at the University of Pristina. After that he worked as a teacher for a while in several villages near Prizren and then as a legal translator at the Kosovan Electricity Corporation after that until the end of his career. He started writing and publishing literature from his childhood with his first poem being published in 1957 in the Pionieri literary magazine. At the Kosovan Electricity Corporation he co-founded the literary club 'Kosovan Poppies' which later published some of his works most notably in the 'Ngjyra e Kohës' ('The colour of time') anthology. His works were published in a wide variety of literary and non-literary publications in Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia and Romania.
In 2013 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Writers and Artists Club of Durrës, Albania. In the same year the Albanian literary critic Fatmir Minguli published a collection of critical essays on his body of work in a book entitled "Revoltë dhe meditim mbi poetikën e Adem Zaplluzhes".[2] He was a member of the Kosovan Writers Society.[3]
