Dinko Telećan: A visit to the ravaged coast

Poetry Expo 24

Environmental poem by Dinko Telećan brings the humanity’s relationship with nature important for its own future. 

"…it's about love and unlove, about a coast begging for two more breaths in and out, about a girl crying because the world is being taken away from her unborn children.”

Poetski Tren

The digital platform "Poetski tren” is an innovative project launched by Gordana Kovačić in spring 2020. She recognized the importance of digital transformation of poetry in order to give it the visibility it deserves. The project promotes contemporary poetry, mostly by Croatian authors. The unique concept is based on virtual collaboration of poets, musicians and visual artists whose works form a new artistic multimedia content – a poetry video published on YouTube channel Poetski tren - YouTube. More than 160 videos have been published so far, with over 125,000 views. The project was immediately recognized by the Croatian Society of Writers leading to successful collaboration.
