Volume
This volume contains all of the author’s poetic works from around 1988 to the present. Earlier attempts at poetry have either been lost or destroyed by the author. The volume is structured as follows: The section “Die Minderheit des Ichs” (The Minority of the Self), with the subsections “Totenhaus” (House of the Dead) to “Schreibtische und andere Schreckensorte” (Desks and Other Places of Horror), contains what the author considers to be his best poems and proposes a selection and structure for a possible monographic poetry publication. This has now been done: Über fälschungssicheren Wiesen (Above Forgery-Proof Meadows) Poems. Edition Offenes Feld. ISBN 978-3759722355 (2024). The section “Other (completed) Poems / Sketches / Alternatives” contains extensive poetry material that is either not yet mature, conflicts too strongly with poems from the above-mentioned sections, or contains variants for competition submissions with thematic specifications. Some poems have been set to music by the author himself (under the composer pseudonym “Thomas Leppuhr”) for musical performances, namely Sep. 2024: Drei Sekunden habe ich vor dem Beton (Four Fragments for Soprano and Piano). die-einsamkeit-der-partitur.de/werk/drei-sekunden-habe-ich-vor-dem-beton-vier-fragmente-fuer-sopran-und-klavier/
