what do I do when I am happy

The poetry collection 'What Do I Do When I'm Happy' offers insights into how the author Helmfried von Lüttichau feels, thinks, and acts. Fans of the series 'Hubert and Staller' will get to know him in a completely different way here. Helmfried von Lüttichau effortlessly combines humor and melancholy. He writes with sharp wit, full of wisdom and foresight, and at times expresses doubt. His book is meant for laughing, crying, sharing, and gifting. It is entertaining to read, highly recommended, and encouraging. Sometimes, he can't escape from rhymes. And when he confines his overflowing poetic ideas within the corset of a sonnet, he comes very close to himself. He enjoys the cheeky and the mischievous, weaving them together with objectivity. He is a modern-day ballad singer with a practical literature rooted in a beautiful tradition. In doing so, he has simply surpassed the modernity of contemporary poetry, ranging from language skepticism to self-reflection. He is a genuine performance poet unafraid to take bold risks. His poems are moral tales, mostly from the first-person perspective. With a minimum of language, a maximum of meaning must be generated. This leads to flashes of insight, brief yet painful, and all the more comforting.
