Description

The poems are addressed to a you. They are love poems. And the diversity of love is reflected in the abundance of images that become metaphors: the river, the wind, the sky, the flight of swallows, the shadow, the dream, the stranger.

Reading sample:

...I'm very close you hear what goes without saying, very close

I long for fields of sunshine on the streets in me it said: stop,

we take you to the sea...

Reviews and press:

Bremen reads:

"Martin Bührig's poems belong neither to current political poetry nor to political poetry in general. They stand in the centuries-old tradition of poetry of private concern, which is peculiar to all people who live in their own situation and in their time. Martin Bührig's poetry goes beyond the usual and is special, unique in its own way. The words are in their contexts in the sentence and the connections go beyond the sentence, follow a different poetic grammar that makes the background tangible, becomes a sound, a poetic melody. The poems are aimed at a you. They are love poems. And the diversity of love is reflected in the abundance of images that become metaphors: the river, the wind, the sky, the flight of swallows, the shadow, the dream, the stranger.”
