"The Poet Speaks: Philosophical-Aesthetic Riddles" by Dragutin (Drago) Ćepulić is a collection of short, thoughtful essays in which the author reflects on literature, art, philosophy, and human creativity in a witty, insightful, and unobtrusive manner.
At a time when Croatian writers abroad were often presented only as "Yugoslav", this lexicon clearly and systematically presented Croatian literature as a separate national literature for the first time after World War II.
The book is still required reading at philological faculties today because it systematically connects language with literature and social context for the first time. It is written clearly, without ideological exclusivity, which was a rarity in 1990.
