Nora Gomringer does not see herself as a poet who provides readily accessible moods. What occupies the lyricist alongside her poetry can be gleaned from this cheerful yet profound second volume of Gomringer's texts and speeches. It addresses themes of freedom and foreignness, television and cinema, literature and readings, language and rhythm. Also included is the text "Recherche," for which she received the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize. While Nora Gomringer may not be there to amuse her readers, she can do so with ease.
