I'm reading them in a german to dutch translation.
Beautifull but haunting poems by a person who is reinventing his words after the nazis took away his language and....his parents.
I'm reading this poems for about 30 years, but I'm still looking for entries and light. Heavy, but essential.

This is a hard book and I found the writing abstract and remote - given other reviews, no doubt I've missed something that others can hear.
