Merini:Das Fleisch der Engel Meine Mä

In "The Flesh of Angels," Alda Merini conjures a great myth of religions in free, unbound poems, in the name of the longing for the infinite, with words that resonate like an echo: "holy and cursed at the same time." In this, celestial beings serve as companions and supportive allies in the battle against demons and temptations. It is the direct expression of feelings that makes Alda Merini's visionary poetry, full of rebellion and love, resonate immediately with readers, especially the young. The memories "My Men: Fragments of a Sentimental Autobiography," the second part of this book, were dictated by Alda Merini at the age of 70: surreal and provocative reflections on poets, vagabonds, and friends who played a role in her life. With vivid imagination, she provides a deep insight into her existence in these prose fragments, shaped by the loneliness of long years in psychiatric institutions, an insatiable hunger for life, and immense love for poetry. The Perlen series allows readers to discover the work of this extraordinary poetess.
