PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

These are all peices that I'm currently working on. They are part of a compilation of work that I've done in Germany while studying Germany's poets. I have done research on Nelly Sachs, Hermann Hesse, Karl Krolow, Paul Celan, Rainer Maria Rilke, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Georg Tralk, and Ernst Meister - more will follow in the next couple of weeks. As I have studied these poets I have tried to understand the methods they used and the state of mind that inspired their work (whenever they lived). In addition, the influence of people, their thoughts on life, the cities, the trains, the weather, the history, the art and just being abroad has become an inherrent part of this project. I found it enlightening to write poems here, and this in has influence my writing style. This collection includes poems about deeply emotion places and events in history, but also poems about contempory life in Germany because both of these things are necessary steps to understanding how poetry has taken shape in the last couple hundred years. Even after this collection is "complete," I will not move back to Seattle or Bellingham, because I feel there is still so much more to write here. 

Thank you for your time spent with these poems

Sincerely, 

Mic M. L. Silverline
