Milo Urban was born in 1904 in Rabčice, in Orava, the son of a forest warden, and spent his early childhood in a forester's house beneath Babia hora, hence his first pseudonym, Podbabjagurský.

A refugee in Austria, brought back to Czechoslovakia in 1947, he was sentenced in 1948 to a public reprimand, then forced to settle in Chorvátsky Grob, where he lived mainly from translations. He died in Bratislava on 10 March 1982.
