Hüttenbuchverse

Mr. Edgar Hermann's book has been published independently and is supported by the Südostschweiz Buchverlag. Distribution is handled through the Buchzentrum. The author, born in 1938, has been a bookworm, dreamer, and poet since childhood, enjoying playing with language even in preschool. His delightful and playful interaction with words combined with a passion for imagining and creating in colors is evidenced by his extensive catalog of oil paintings. In Puschlav and later in Apulia, a life-affirming Italianità brightened his otherwise serious and leisurely nature. This amalgamation of influences is also reflected in the author's works. His hut poetry and some short stories, such as "Hitsch's Sayings," reveal a certain discontent with civilization; Latin joy for life shines through in other works, such as "Apulian Nights" and the translation of "Lorenzo's Song." And time and again, a mischievous spirit peeks through the lines. A euphoric, deeply felt love intoxication marks a new chapter in the author's life starting in 1992. He has produced some beautiful love poems without slipping into the realm of cheesy sentimentality. There's something for everyone, creatively mixed, easy to digest, yet with depth.
