Thilo Krause engages with the things and words of everyday life. In the encounter with seemingly simple feelings, unexpected spaces open up that extend beyond what they initially appear to be. His poems are perception and concentration, a meditation in action: while cooking, walking, or traveling. Despite the simplicity of the words, sound, rhythms, and images are what transform observation into poetry: "Outside, it flashes. Inside, summer lingers lazily. Cans, bottles, trash glimmer in the fern." With Thilo Krause, who lives in Switzerland, a unique voice in German-language literature can be discovered.
