Sorel is undoubtedly one of the leading Croatian poets of the younger generation which came of age and received recognition in the second half of the 1990s. As a poet, he seems to be irresistibly drawn to what could be described as “verbal magma”, as though the very heaping-up of words was sufficient reason to defy the established rules of a text. The text's specific verbal formulation then sets up the expectation of a different type of experience. On the other hand, Sorel is capable of condensing his poetic expression into a few lines, and hence his shorter poems possess an energy that lends his longer poems a verbal élan rarely met with in contemporary Croatian poetry. 

Sorel also incorporates the theoretical hypotheses and insights of translated and widely-recognised critics into his poetry almost unmediated, so that his extended personal poetics press at the very boundaries of lyrical expression. In this respect, his grasp of modern Croatian avant-garde poetics is obvious. Sorel is a poet who is able to perceive a kind of demonic confusion even in video games — and that confusion turns out to be a poetic confusion, naturally.

His new collection of prose poems, quite without precedent in Croatian poetry, was written as a fragmentary biography of the social philosopher and anarchist theorist Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin (1814-1876), and it is entitled simply Bakunin (2006).
