Bøger af Julia Kulewatz

"Ich lese die wunderbaren Gedichte von Julia Kulewatz. Manche Zeilen sind so schön, dass ich diese wie ein Mantra immer und immer wieder laut vor mir hersage. Das, was sich in ihren Gedichten formt, ist wie das Wandeln in mehreren Dimensionen gleichzeitig. Es ist wie eine alte Geschichte, die neu erzählt wird und ganz viel Weisheit in sich trägt. Es sind nur Fragmente, kleine aufgedeckte Ecken einer wunderbaren Reise." - Jantien Sturm

As a representative of Black Romanticism Poe opens not only the ¿Night site of romanticism¿for his readers, but also the exemplary illustrates a longing for transcendence in his shortstories. By removing the figure of Morella in exactly this transcendent place, she cannot becaptured by the reader. [...]
