About the book:
In “The World is a September Day” all poems are presented bilingually in text and writing. In conversations about images, words and stories, the poems were translated into the other language in a poetic exchange, the German-language poems into Persian, the Persian poems into German.
In addition to the linguistic transmissions, the poems by Inge Buck and Madjid Mohit also correspond on a second level. In the juxtaposition of the poems, lyrical patterns meet in a special way. Among other things, there are motifs about time, fear and dreams, about the moment, distance and freedom, which are presented in two languages on the pages of the book of poems.
