Das himmlische Licht: Gedichte

Through a restless, prophetic voice the poet calls a solitary companion into a world where the ordinary cityscape dissolves into elemental forces. The verses echo the tremor of a distant volcano, the roar of an ocean that split the Pacific, and the flickering streetlights of Berlin, rendered in stark, imagistic language. Early twentieth‑century anxieties surface in surreal juxtapositions—crumbling façades, fireworks over Friedrichstraße, unseen soldiers—yet the collection returns repeatedly to the whispered “Kamerad” and a longing for a hidden light.

The poems glide between mythic eruption and everyday life, pairing fire‑laden visions of Krakatoa with the quiet rustle of paper lanterns in a café. This shifting landscape lets desert sands meet green fields while the sky seems to breathe over the streets, creating a rhythm that is both spare and charged. Listeners will find a meditative pause amid turbulent history, a chance to feel the pulse of an era through resonant verse.
