rima fragmenta, or Fragments of a Rift: Fifty Sonnets for Kevin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734561012)

Fifty poems guide the reader through an individual's story. Each sonnet is a self-contained unit in itself, but the reader travels from poem to poem through the chapters of this love relationship. The reduction to this one chosen form enhances the intensity of different perspectives, insights and periods of time. We encounter passion and burning eroticism, but also contradiction, fear, misunderstanding and everything that happens between two people in love. The author always leads us back to the basic, deeply emotional love of the 'lyrical I', and draws the reflexes of it in all openness. The haunting voice of the poet allows the reader to appreciate and feel moved. The universality of love is illustrated by complex images and historical quotations repeatedly stretched into a wider temporal and iconographic framework. Like jewels, these Classical references - transposed into the present day - shines harmoniously with the events between the two lovers in an immediate sense. The masculine pull of attraction, which unleashes the passion of the 'lyrical I, ' pulsates through the lines and rhythms of the story with ever-new erotic moments and highlights. The goals were defined by the poet himself within one of the sonnets: "Goethe said mastery of form only shows when limitation of order is gained." And he fulfills it with these brilliant works of art.
