A magical realist novel in verse exploring family history and resilience in war-torn Croatia.

Initial Coordinates meditates on Monika Herceg's childhood memories in a small rural village near Petrinja as war breaks out in the 1990s. This unforgettable work mimics oral traditions, reflecting the people whose lives shaped Herceg's voice. Explore themes of financial hardship, domestic violence, and the decline of village life, all rooted in the resilience of nature's rhythms.

Drawing directly on Croatian mythology, this collection offers a bold perspective on family sagas and historical events. Perfect for readers interested in European literature, translated poetry, and magical realism. Discover the power of verse in capturing the essence of a family's journey through adversity.
