Grief Poetry

Sämtliche Gedichte von Egon Schiele – lernen Sie die andere Seite des Genies kennen. Die kurzen Skizzen, meist einfache Sätze mit starker Suggestionskraft, kreieren eine Atmosphäre des Malerischen. Verstärkt wird dieser Eindruck durch die häufige und gezielte Verwendung von Farbadjektiven. Wenn Schiele schreibt, trennt er sich nicht von der Malerei, er versucht – im Gegenteil – seine Worte „rollrundschwarzglänzend“, „zittergün“ oder „rot“ anzumalen.

Divine Madness: A Dark Poetry Collection beckons you into the depths of the human psyche, inviting you to explore the turbulent landscapes of the mind and embrace the haunting allure of poetic madness.

“We lived overlooking the walls overlooking the cemetery.” So begins the title poem of this collection, whose recursive temporality is filled with living, grieving things, punctuated by an unseen world of roots, bodies, and concealed histories.
