Riassunto

Based on encounters, observations, and gleanings while traveling the world, this collection of Joachim Sartorius' eclectic and esoteric verse ranges in topic from the yellow cabs of Lagos and the horseshoes on Hitler's favorite steed to North African guards loading bottles of butane onto a trolley outside a crematorium. Poignant and timely, these poems speak to a global community, revealing how cultural divides can be bridged.
