drafting driftwood

We all own a mirror that reflects the world around us. Occasionally we may see glimpses of other mirrors and by seeing realise that there are many ways to look and many ways to see. What lies between black and white, is it grey, is it colour, or is it everything? It is this contrast that give us shades and remind us... that beauty lies in the conflict between order and chaos. ( J.M.K.)

About Me

Yutka
I was born sixty years ago in a war-torn Germany. My grandfather, contemporary of the famous poet Rainer Maria Rilke whom he had actually met, had been a poet and translator. Unfortunately he died before I was born, but I think he left me through his genes this never ceasing love of poetry and a talent for languages. I have written poetry from early on, in German, later in Spanish and French and finally in English. I always thought of the poets I read as family, my own kin, who spoke a language I could understand and “feel” .I believe in reading out poems aloud and prefer simple vocabulary. What fascinates me are the possibilities to express feelings. What I respond to is the way a poem can liberate, by means of a word’s setting, through subtleties of timing, of pacing, that word’s full and surprising range of meaning. It seems to me that simple language best suits this; I like scale, but I like it invisible. I love those poems that seem so small on the page but that swell in the mind.

my blog

This is a blog I don't publicise. Pictures and words are floating in the ether and I do not know if anyone, anytime, will look at them.
I write from time to time what comes into my mind, but there are and will be silences......
For whom do I write?

PROBABLY I WRITE TO MYSELF.

Somehow I think my words and pictures are like dreams, feeling and touching a mind, then disappear.....
and so it shall be.
