100 poems

New poems by Till Lindemann, the singer of the band Rammstein. Till Lindemann is known as the vocalist and lyricist of Rammstein. Independently, he has been writing poetry for over 20 years. His often short, pointed poems strike the reader directly, surprising and shaking them. The texts revolve around Till Lindemann's thematic universe in ever new and original variations, reminiscent of the traditions of German poetry since the Romantic era: nature, the body, loneliness, violence, love, evil, animals, pain, beauty, language, death, sex. Till Lindemann plays with the classical forms of poetry, such as folk songs, counting rhymes, and ballads, always finding his own voice, which also includes elements of comedy and irony. Following "Messer" and "In stillen Nächten," this is a remarkable new collection of poems—not just for Rammstein fans.
