Ivan Koprić's collection of poetry Red Isohypses of War contains 64 thematically and stylistically uniformed poems whose common denominator is the fear of death, disappearance, meaninglessness, futility and the end.

Ahead of the third Rhythm&Book with Nikolina Borčić as a guest, on which occasion she will present her book The Devil is in the Detail, the book of May is this excellent book.
From the review of doc. dr. sc. Ivona Čulo:

Conscious citizens recognize not only ambiguous communication and manipulation, but value and content based on verifiable data and results, and consequently set higher standards for politicians regarding the quality of communication. In the age of the global trend of trivialization and ostracization of politics, this book stands as a reminder of the power of language in creating and deconstructing images.
