Chase Away the Fears

Mascha Kaléko confronted the pace of her own time long before the need for a more mindful life became apparent in our fast-paced present. This volume gathers many poems that have only been published in the complete edition of her works, allowing us to discover new facets of the great poetess: sometimes playful, sometimes melancholic, always wise and incisive, she writes about the small and large transience and reflects on the existential questions of every human being. A reading experience that invites us to pause, awakens us, and brings us into the here and now.
