1952
VH acquires his first literary and critical experience in the company of his peers, who call themselves the 36ers (Šestatřicátníci). Members include future key figures in Czech literature in the second half of the 20th century, among them Jiří Kuběna, Josef Topol, Věra Linhartová, Viola Fischerová, Jan Zábrana and others. He gradually establishes contact with other groups and individuals active in the “alternative“ culture (Jiří Kolář, Vladimír Holan, Jaroslav Seifert and others) not supported by the communist regime. VH composes four manuscript collections of poetry and writes literary reflections and critiques.
