Strange, isn’t it: We have more, much more to do than before Corona. We realized all books planned, even 3 additional titles.

The second collection of poems by Werner Vogel, and we remember:
During the 1960 test flight around the moon, a fly commissioned by Werner Vogel used the opportunity to look at earthly matters from the capsule—it radioed its impressions back to Earth in Vogel’s dossier »The Fly in Apollo 8«…
Now Werner Vogel has joined forces with locusts to continue recording and archiving the earthly and all-too-earthly. In his new volume, together with his observation locusts, he takes aim at the ever-present calamities, vanities, follies, and absurdities along the Earth’s orbit. His locusts will certainly not aim at our grain—they will rather thresh it most clearly around our ears. So let us listen to what locusts rave about when they swarm.

Let us recall: US President JFK sent several spacecraft into Earth’s orbit during the 1960s, then on test flights around the moon, and finally to the moon landing – could it be that there were not only three astronauts on board each time, but also a fly?
Werner Vogel, who lives in Vienna, wants us to believe that the insect originates from Austria—looking down from the capsule with interest at earthly matters. Ultimately, the author is »only« a recorder of the flying observations that affect us all.
Initial response after a brilliant reading by Martin Haidinger in Vienna: NEWS reports briefly, others follow with longer reports (in the long term).
