He also contributed as an author with Menson Benson Sextet, Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša and as an author of applied music for movies and television. Literature In his first book “In a Train to Disneyland” (U vozu za Diznilend, SKC, Belgrade 1994), along with short stories, Krakov also published his essay on theory of poetry “Return of Poetry to Singing”, in which he claimed that poetry which exists only in written form reminds of a “once powerful tribe which now scrapes in reservation”. He advocated the singing as a natural incarnation of poetry, which should reemerge as more appreciated model, while “pencil” poetry should remain what musical notation is to music.
