Klappentext

In his sixth poetry collection, Anis Mojgani's verses create the yearning for rebirth, thriving love-a love of self and tenderness in a sorrowful world. Drawing inspiration from Rexroth and Lorca, Mojgani explores the joys of desire, both in the presence of others and during moments of solitude. These new poems reflect a touchless world, balancing loneliness and being alone. Mojgani invites readers on a voyage of intimacy, planting ideas with hope and openness, ready to witness the flowers that bloom along the way.
