As I was reading this poetry book, I reached page 41, where “Rough Guide to Vienna” is, and I had to stop for several days to digest its blow. I could not believe how on earth I was expecting something delightful and pleasant, though. But I was. Until I got to that page I was relaxed. And suddenly, I was transported to the harsh images of Jews persecution during the thirties of last century. Many of the poems included in these pages leave you equally speechless, such as “HMS Affray”, where a parallelism is made with a British submarine accident occurred during the WWII. There are jewels such as “Cahier” or “Storm, Bavaria”, which are going to be, for sure, a pleasure to re-read, indeed. This collection was published on 29th September 2016 by Bloodaxe.
