Nina Ruth Hausmann-Brose, born in Erlangen, has lived in Münster for over 50 years. After experiencing some significant upheavals in her life, she discovered her own abilities in navigating the many fascinating possibilities of the German language through her interest in literature and the support of good friends who delved particularly into poetry. A chance encounter with Elke Heidenreich, which led to intense conversations fueled by mutual spontaneous sympathy, further encouraged her to hold on to poetry. Her poems are soul bubbles—compressed in this book—drawn from the everyday, global events, and nature. "What remains unsaid must be written down"—even if it may shock some readers.
