Between memory and the present, light and darkness, Roland Watzky paints a poetic panorama of lived experiences in his poems about life. His verses tell of first loves, lost moments, goodbyes, and a hidden longing to leave a mark.With a mixture of tender sadness and hesitant honesty, the author reflects on personal and societal upheaval—on illness, loss, pandemic, and war, but also on hope, closeness, and the power of moving forward. The poems vary between condensation in a few lines and open narrative, and are full of resonance and quiet depth.
Life poems are an invitation to pause, to confront one's own memories, and to rediscover something of one's past life.
