Klappentext These poems reflect that the world as a whole is a puzzling and nonsensical place! but that there are always fragments here and there that can be understood. It is this suggestive! partial understanding that is the subject of the poems. While some of the events depicted are humorously bleak! there is a line of optimism running through the work! and human relation is revealed as the only antidote to despair and anger. Zusammenfassung The world is a very puzzling place but there are always fragments here and there! which one can almost understand. Although some of the events depicted are bleak! there is a line of optimism running through this work; human relations are the only antidote to despair and anger.
