New Rhymes on Idioms: The most unconventional poetry cycle in German-language poetry is back for a second round! 10 new idiom poems for everyone who loved "Holger, the Forest Fairy": stylishly rhymed, cleverly conceived, and refined with social and political awareness. Lars Ruppel, just as we love him! What happens to the bears that are tied up? Who or what does the old administrator manage? Who are Donna and Dorian, whom we keep hearing about? Bestselling author Lars Ruppel gives the characters of old idioms new stories: unconventional and anarchistic, poetically subversive, entertaining, and with a keen sensitivity to contemporary issues and social politics. The stork to be roasted becomes an actor in a parable about totalitarian systems, while Hempel's sofa finds its place in a poignant account of dementia in old age.
