The World in the Mirror of the Lyricist - the first collection of poems by Jochen Jung. The author and publisher Jochen Jung presents a new facet of his literary work with this debut poetry collection. Cheerful and wise about life, laconic and melancholic, he observes the world and infects it with his poetic fever. Traffic lights bloom in fresh green, women wear printer's ink in their eyes, emperors and Karl Kraus help the poor poet out of bankruptcy, and there is still time for a glass of red wine between dying and being dead. The hour between dog and cat begins, sunlight dusts the world, and sorrow is lynched. Youth and old age, love and death, Bob Dylan and H.C. Artmann. With his feather-light verses, Jung enchants the reader: colors and shapes come alive, feelings warm the soul, and comfort begins to sprout. His themes are diverse: youth and old age.
