Ljubo Wiesner

Ljubo Wiesner (February 2, 1885 in Zagreb – July 3, 1951 in Rome ) was a Croatian poet. He was a follower of Antun Gustav Matoš's work.

He founded the publications Grič, Kritika and Savremenik. His introduction to Hrvatska mlada lirika in 1914 defined the poetic style of the followers of Matoš.
