LATEST RELEASE from ARTEIDOLIA PRESS
Bernd Sauermann’s thoughtful new book, “Missives,” speaks of the aches of human connection and both the rifts and connections between our waking and dreaming worlds. There are many laments for lost or broken love, narratives of collapse but always the hope of renewal by one’s own energy or the mysteries and moments of the world he deftly presents: It is the best type of poetry, capturing how through language and emotion we negotiate the difficult aspects of living and remain holding on to renewal and hope. Read it: it’s both captivating and instructive. – Maxine Chernoff, novelist & poet
Bernd Sauermann was born in Hof, Germany, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1968.
