Wandel ist notwendig - und unausweichlich. Er wartet nicht auf uns. Wer ihn zu vermeiden versucht, vermeidet oft das Leben. In diesem Buch bringen Gedichte, auf Deutsch und auf Englisch, reflektierende Perspektiven von gesellschaftlichen Wendepunkten zum Vorschein - sowie solchen, die es werden können. Aktuelle, relevante Diskussionsthemen, wie unter anderem Leistungsdenken, Gender-Ungleichheiten, Gesellschaftsspaltung oder die Klimakrise, werden auf kreative Weise behandelt und laden zum Weiterdenken und Handeln ein.

Within this book, poems in English and in German reveal reflecting perspectives on societal turning points - and points to become such.

Book Description
I've spent my life weaving stories that captivate millions, yet here I am, alone in this enormous house, surrounded by silence. Success hasn't brought me the happiness I thought it would. The mansion feels more like a gilded cage, each room echoing with the emptiness of a life that looks perfect from the outside but feels anything but. One stormy night, as the rain pounds against the windows and the power goes out, I'm plunged into darkness both literally and figuratively. While searching for candles, I stumble upon something I never expected: a hidden door behind my bookshelf. A door I've never seen before, leading to a secret room buried deep within the walls of my own home. What lies beyond that door? As I step inside, I'm faced with a mystery that shakes the foundations of everything I thought I knew. This discovery could finally fill the void I've been living with for so long or it might just lead me deeper into the darkness.
