Description
At the center of Martin Bührig's collection of poems "Symbolon" is an ancient symbol: the Symbolon - a broken piece of recognition whose two halves only reveal their meaning when they are put back together. Based on this image, Bührig develops a multi-faceted poetic reflection on belonging, identity, and the relationship between I and you.
His poems revolve around closeness and distance, memory and expectation and ask what it means to be fragmentary - and what happens when fragments meet each other. Relationship does not appear as a mere promise, but as a challenge, as a process of knowledge and as a place of testing.
At the same time, the texts enter into a critical dialogue with the present: asserted in a time of fleeting ties „Symbolon“ the depth of connection and the resilience of real resonance. The volume thus becomes a poetic attempt to make what is separated legible - and to find a place in the word where two halves can meet.
