Aus Glut geschnitzt

Be cut, be slit, be wound / heal yourself with your own songs / in the redness of the morning light - the new poems by Dincer Gücyeter fulfil this claim, which the German-born lyricist with Anatolian roots makes in his texts and to his texts, in every line. Regardless of whether he remembers his parents' homeland, the speechless arrival in a new country, whether he evokes the chronicle of the history of a migrant worker in his mother's suffering, deals with his father's heavy shadow, addresses Eros, but also sexual and political violence, his poems, visually strong, sometimes tender, sometimes coarse, but always powerfully linguistically connecting the traditional with today's world, allow us to almost physically feel the longing of lovers, the pain of hope, grief, anger and loneliness. And at the same time they are poetic documents of togetherness, passion and lust for life.
