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

In the central juncture of Wolfgang Haak’s new volume is the following sentence to read: »I have arrived without end, without beginning, inoxerable goin in circles with the seasons. What a life path.« His absolutely anthropological observations and determinations of the place of himself (?), working with the rigor of classical forms and simultaneous undertaking wild outbursts into very own compositions, result in one ot the great qualities of these texts.
Like Wolfgang Haak's previous volume »Treibgut Warmzeit«, his new book »Wortstillleben« explores the areas of contact between poetry and prose text, making discoveries for both, poetry and prose.
As the first poetry volume of our program, this book is accompanied by a poetry listening CD on which Wolfgang Haak can be heard reading some of his poems, as well as other of our poets—thanks to Hannes Druener ad the Klangetage!

The first volume, which appeared in our program in 2004 by Wolfgang Haak, was already located in the borderland of short prose and poetry. He simultaneous fathoms out the residues of history in our public language and very local geography. Kai Agthe formulates in Neues Deutschland:
»Whoever picks up Wolfgang Haak's book enters into the Mesozoic Era and also wanders trough Scherkonde.«
