With “Wimpern und Asche”, a volume of poems spanning the past six years, Bonné confirms he is indeed one of the most distinct voices in German language contemporary poetry scene. Understated and precise, the poems are dedicated to depicting the beauty and blight of our world. Reading which is rich in experience unfolds in elaborately structured chapters and a surprising graphic form. These poems hold their own among their ilk and linger long after they’re read.
