Where new things emerge, the old must give way, and so Berlin is always under construction, demolition, and dismantling. This SternenBlick anthology revolves around the dilapidated beauty of this realistic portrayal of the city. Nearly fifty contributions from various literary genres explore the charm, but also the loss, that the fleeting and ephemeral bring. In addition to twelve short stories, over thirty poems and haikus are gathered. The texts are complemented by lost-place photographs and fitting graphics. This is the second volume of our Berlin series. Published by the non-profit association for contemporary poetry 'SternenBlick e.V.'
