Froschkonzert

Funny, tragic, ironic, without idealizing the world – Christian Futscher writes poetry that delves deep. With "Frog Concert," the poet's fifth collection of poetry is released, taking us on a colorful journey through life with his poetic imagery. The journey moves from spring to autumn, from the blossoms of tender love to the fruits of a long marriage, from first sentences to full bookshelves, from yearning for the new to mourning the past. Christian Futscher draws a broad arc over the world at large, analyzing it with precision and scrutinizing the vibrant scenes of everyday life. Often, his verses contain a surprising twist, a sharp punchline, or an unexpected breaking of taboos. With much wit and charm, Christian Futscher articulates everyday life, love, and all that moves us in concise, cheerful, and melancholic verses.
