Still Some Light in the House is the most recent poetry collection by Switzerland's 2024 "Grand Prix Literatur" prize winner, Klaus Merz.

Klaus Merz, a consummate master of the short form, captures the wonders and travails of aging in the alpine countryside reflected in these Taoist influenced poems and prose poems, which have been sculpted by the aging artist with every single word dutifully and carefully considered. Questions of mortality and the afterlife are considered and reflect in the forests, along the creeks and rivers, the mountains and in the blue sky stretching above.
