Moving away from zeitgeist-driven lyrical expressions of concern, Fabian Lenthe operates within the tradition of the poètes maudits and the American underground. His poems, usually just a few lines long, captivate with their immediacy and draw attention to the abysses of human existence—often melancholic, sometimes with biting self-irony. Oscillating between daydream and memory, the poetry collection "Streichhölzer" tells a story about the end of love.
