On the occasion of Reiner Kunze's 90th birthday, he has become an unmistakable voice in Germany with his books, and his texts serve as a solid point of orientation. His poems provide insight into the past century and shape our perception of the present. They impressively demonstrate what it means to trust in the power of language and to continually risk a unique perspective on the world. For Reiner Kunze's 90th birthday, his collected poems are being published in an expanded special edition, which now also includes the two most recently released poetry volumes "lindennacht" and "die stunde mit dir selbst.".
