Die Kathedrale: Gedichte

A collection of lyric poems reimagines biblical scenes and devotional moments through concise, often sonnet-like lyrics. The speaker shifts between witnesses and participants—figures such as Mary, Joseph, Abraham, Noah, and apostles—using domestic and natural imagery alongside bodily detail to explore faith, grief, doubt, and ritual. Recurring motifs of light, stairways, sleep, and simple objects frame contemplations on suffering, hope, and communal worship. The poems favor precise sensory language and quiet restraint, alternating intimate interior reflection with communal liturgical presence rather than extended narrative development.
