The book "I Was Born in a Cloud" presents a carefully curated selection from the lyrical works of Hans Jean Arp, a significant poet and visual artist of the 20th century. Arp, who grew up in a bilingual environment in Alsace, combines both German and French influences in his poetry. This anthology offers a representative cross-section of his works, ranging from the Dada movement to concrete poetry. Arp was not only part of the artistic circle around the "Blue Rider," but also a pioneer of innovative literary movements. His poems, which often play with visual elements, invite readers to explore the boundaries between language and image. With this publication, the series of Alsatian poets from the early 20th century continues, providing valuable insight into the literary heritage of that time.
