Centuries of Quietude

»More than a prentice work, almost a masterpiece«, wrote Harald Hartung in the F.A.Z. when Armin Senser's first volume of poems was published in 1999. With his new book, Senser continues the tightrope walk between tradition and the present, whether in his homage to Robert Frost, in reflections on the memories embedded in the walls of old churches, or in poems inspired by landscapes from Lisbon to the Alps.
