Zitat des Tages über Poetisch / Poetic:

Except here it's more power, more energy, younger and also in Europe it's still not only entertainment. Theater or films are looked at as a moral institution. That's why maybe they're so poetic. Here it's clear entertainment.

I believe in poetic discourse, in the value of speech in a non-naturalistic way; it's speculative.

I began as a fiction writer - I had written three novels in my 20s and 30s.
