called „razlogovci“, Croatian poet of the second postwar generation, his
ten collections of poems and poetic prose. His verses are exempt from

for which the number of syllables in a verse is not important. The
author classified the poetical opus into three creative periods, applied
structural and stylistic approach, investigated, listed and explained the
theme-motif core, display, appellative and expressive characteristics of
poetical expression with mirror structures, as well as constituent parts
of impressive or expressive phonetics: homonyms, homophones, heteronyms,
assonance, alliterations, then graphic, poetic structure, architecture,
music and respect for tradition. In the concluding chapter

placed in the context of his generation and Croatian literature in general.
