In dreams the animals stand still
Ulrike Marie Hille takes her readership with her on her travels. With a view of the world, the lyrical I travels through "poetic landscapes" until it is transformed and redefined in the magic of longing and hope. Inspired by other poets, Ulrike Marie Hille repeatedly enters into a dialogue with them and their readership - many are invited to her "House of Language". The "animal in dreams" also gains access, a metaphor for the enigmatic, at times strangely incomprehensible, of poetic language, which creates mysterious and at the same time powerful poetic images through its eloquence and mysterious silence.
