Cons: Z
A melancholy accordion.
Swimming season.
Blue lightnings.
Shoes size 40.
Istria is dying.
The sea.
Europe is dying.
Sports, the economy, politics.
Japan versus Russia.
NEW CULTURE.
New culture: humanitarianism.
New politics: humanitarianism.
New art: for man.
Europe's hour of death draws near.
Anoint it with H2SO4.
The hour of grief.
A curtain has unveiled a new world.

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.
