I am constantly seized by MOMENTS from the depths, and from experiencing them, I am able to bring a few inner words to the outside world. This led to my first volume of poetry, MOMENTGedichte, in 2013.

“When the past calls, don’t answer; it has nothing new to say!” The phone rang. Hans wondered if he should answer. Basically, he knew every phrase word for word. He knew who was on the line: himself from the past with the same old story: the story of Hans & Hannah. This story was over, yet he kept picking up and listening to it again, as if he were Humphrey Bogart in “Casablanca” saying, “Play it, Sam, play it!”. An excerpt is available as an audio drama: Protocol from the End of a Love Affair.
More recent poems have been written since 2020, including the SoundPortraits cycle. They were recorded by Richard Maschke.
