Poems, Visions, Weights. Wolfgang Nöckler's poetry thematically and stylistically moves across a wide field, like a hare happily hopping along until it meets the fox. No answer is also no answer: Nöckler's poems crouch between word images, cats, and feelings. And the question of appearance is raised. Poetry with and without rhyme, interspersed with notes of reflection. This volume strikes different tones, with moods ranging from tears of joy to sorrow. And there is also sweating in Wolfgang Nöckler's first book.

Reviews: Wolfgang Nöckler proves to be a wordsmith in the tradition of Robert Gernhardt. Starting from often very concrete images, he shows that wordplay is a serious matter because surprising insights lurk behind superficial punchlines, and quiet melancholy hides between the syllables.

Nöckler's poems are underpinned by a concealed music, with some texts crying out to be sung. They sit in the tone between the ballads of the Beatniks and the current state of Poetry Slam performers. Small Post-Its set the rhythm of life's wisdoms.
