PFLANZE POESIE / PLANT POETRY
In 2020 I found a wonderful little book about wild flowers in one of the largest antiquarian bookshops in Berlin: Actually, the book found me - it just fell off the bookshelf as I walked by. I am very grateful for this book.
The book is from 1963 and at that time there was a tradition of describing nature and flowers in particular in a very poetic way. Therefore, the text is well suited for so-called blackout and haiku-like poems, which I often use together with collage. The blackout technique not only gives new meaning to the text, it also gives the reader a vague idea of what is going on and hence you have to think the rest of the poem yourself.
