a time heavy with life  (English, Hardcover, joachim matschoss)

…the time that lies ahead of him grows shorter. the rearview mirror has been cleaned and he can see his younger self, but he cannot hear him. the words he once had spoken are transcribed by memory, unvoiced… A book of memory, of a life and of our time. - PHILIP KAVAN The process of reading these new poems is to re-experience what the past feels like. It is a strangely moving little book, true and dignified. - LAURA GRAHAM Matschoss understands that the language of intimacy between humans extends to interactions with landscape, history, animals, and weather. - ANTHONY LAWRENCE Every now and then the poet turns his gaze upon himself evoking places he has been and moments he has lived. - ANDREW BOVELL I am mesmerized by the intimacy the poems capture in these lyrical scenarios. - THOMAS KELLOGG Joachim Matschoss offers a hope and acknowledgement of life's beauty and of the resilience of love and youth. - JILLIAN CAMPANA There is nothing that can’t be found in poetry. - MAX REISER
