Perhaps you are now standing in the garden of another distance, holding your hand out of the window of the night and giving me a sign that I cannot see. Perhaps you have invented longing for me. The faces of love in delicate lines. In his new collection of poems, Joseph Zoderer dedicates himself to love as the fundamental principle of life: he sings of the pain it inflicts, the happiness it brings, the longing and the fulfillment it can provide. His poems testify to a strong bond with a soulmate, the joy of shared moments, and a love without end. Zoderer’s delicate miniatures require neither rhyme nor classical verse forms – they thrive on concentrated observation. From forest, water, and stone arise insights and fine yet powerful images. Nature becomes language, and language becomes nature. Joseph Zoderer: new poems about love.
