Inseln von Dunkelheit, Inseln von Licht - Der Dichter Paulus Böhmer

Summary

Islands of Darkness, Islands of Light – The Poet Paulus Böhmer

In his ecstatic, evocative long poems, the poet Paulus Böhmer (1936-2018) undertook the lifelong attempt to grasp the world and reason of our existence. This experimental documentary is an approach to the life and work of this exceptional figure of literature through the sound of new jazz musician Alfred 23 Harth, the words of the author and of his wife, the Hebrew-translator Lydia Böhmer, and the poetic images of video artist Gunter Deller.
