Description
Poetry. Fiction. Translated by Anne-Marie Reuter. Illustrated by Lysiane Schlechter. "It might sound like a mixed bag of things, but as you read through the selection, you will find a deep sense of connection and continuity, with lots of variations on different themes. Love, sex, death, nature and the writing process itself loom large. The volume reads a bit like a journal, a poetic journey through everyday life. Musings echo each other as seasons come and go. Tone and rhythm are key while the texts flit between moods: at times the tone is elegiac and intimate, elsewhere it turns caustic or even mordant. Reading Schlechter's poetry never becomes an exercise in unlocking obscure metaphors or decrypting intricate imagery. It is too spontaneous, too direct for that."—Janine Goedert
