Der zerstörte Tasso: Ausgewählte Gedichte

In this evocative collection, the poet navigates a restless inner landscape through a series of fragmented prayers and vivid impressions. The verses swing between plaintive appeals to a divine presence and stark observations of modern life—electric streets, train stations, and the quiet churn of everyday scenes. The language is dense yet lyrical, letting listeners feel the tension between yearning for solace and confronting the raw edge of existence.

The collection moves fluidly from cosmic nightscapes to biblical echoes, as seen in the recurring figures of Abraham and Lot who appear as archetypes of faith and fragility. Interwoven with striking natural imagery—cypress glades, trembling moons, and crimson horizons—the poems create a tapestry that feels both ancient and urgently contemporary. Listeners are invited to wander through the poet’s shifting moods, discovering moments of quiet reverence amid the storm of words.
