Family Poetry

Christian Morgenstern kombiniert in seinem Werk ernste, gedankenvolle Lyrik und groteske Verse mit ironisch-skeptischem Witz. In seinen Werken ist die Frage nach dem Sinn der menschlichen Existenz sowie der Versuch, den Mensch zu sich selbst zu führen, verankert. Er nimmt Sinnbilder wörtlich, wandelt Klangbilder in sinnfreier Analogie und grotesker Umdeutung ab. Interpretiert werden Morgensterns Texte von Meistern ihres Fachs, die dabei genau den richtigen Ton treffen - gefühlvoll, pointiert, ironisch und vor allem facettenreich.

My latest book is called Looking Back: A Poets Journey and is my sixth poetry book in just a year and a half.

I hope that you enjoy listening to them as I have enjoyed writing them for you all.
