The Cold Wars

"This is no comedy but its beginning / And there is nothing no-one has not missed". With biting irony Armin Senser begins his survey of a millennium barely begun. Senser's new collection of poems confirms this judgement and also introduces a new sound – the hammering rhythms and hard-edged verses of his scathing analyses of the present, in marked contrast to the tone of his Hommage an Glenn Gould or the Berliner Elegien: "Berlin. A courtyard. Warehouse of dreams."
