Kole Nedelkovski (Bulgarian and Template:Lang-mk) was a Macedonian revolutionary and poet, Bulgarian and Yugoslav communist and member of the Bulgarian Communist Party and Yugoslav Communist Party. He was a member of the Macedonian Literary Circle and he published two poetry books. Today, Nedelkovski is seen as one of the founders of the modern Macedonian poetry.
Biography
He was born in Vojnica, near Veles, Ottoman Empire as Nikola Kr(a)stev Nedelkov. Hunted from the Serbian police he emigrated to Bulgaria in 1933. In Sofia, Nedelkovski joined the Macedonian Literary Circle. Besides Nedelkovski, the most active members of the Circle were Dimitar Mitrev, Gjorgji Abadžiev, Venko Markovski, Nikola Vapcarov and others. Later, he became a member of the Bulgarian Communist Party. He ended his life escaping the police in Sofia in 1941, by jumping from an attic window, or by another version, was thrown out of the window.
Works
His poem "A Voice from Macedonia" (Glas od Makedonija) is one of the most famous revolutionary poems in the Macedonian literature. His poetry describes the difficult life of the Macedonian people prior to World War II and glorifies the communist ideas and fight against capitalism. Nedelkovski's poems were published in Macedonian, more precisely on Skopje-Veles dialect. The differences between Standard Macedonian and Skopje-Veles dialect are minor.

- "Lightnings" (М'скавици, M'skavici) - published in 1939
