1fini or Endlich1 is a path to endless understandings. Blurriness and focus on details are showing the unresting human mind.

Third Book
Lumen means light in Latin and is also a measurement for the intensity of light. Nice is well known for its wonderful and very bright light which the Romans liked as they settled here and created Cemenelum on one of the seven hills of the modern town. Lumen is a metaphor for the end of the tunnel and the extinction of light in the human eye.
Fourth Book
Fifth Book
Sixth Book
Seventh Book
Himmel7 means heaven seven. It was the first book of this series dedicated to my father, who had a wonderful view from the seventh floor into the sky of northern Germany. We both loved watching the sky, the clouds’ drawings, the colors’ changes – nothing special, just sitting there and being able to enjoy life.
The texts are thoughts about the sky, the universe, and the miracle of life.
Eighth Book
8haiku or project 5-7-5 is a playful book. Haiku is a nice way to reduce sensations into words. I enjoyed the art of shaping an atmosphere in the elegant form of the 17th century’s Japanese art.
Ninth Book
9human is the last of the series of nine. What makes us human? What do I see when I look at myself or at other human beings? What is life without beauty and poetry? Questions without answers—that is what 9human is searching for.
Booklets with paintings of Rosendo Li
Booklet 1 and 2
In 2015 I designed the co-creation of my existing poetry with original drawings by Rosendo Li. There is a lot of gratitude about this sort of encounter: when two kinds of expression and two sorts of style come together, it is also an encounter between two people. The sense of this sort of human exchange is priceless.
