"Sentences with date"

The sets with date has been in the Kuckart 1998 Villa Massimo written; they are staggered like a diary. The lyric self writes down various observations and feelings that it makes in the Villa Massimo during its time in Italy. The main plot in the book is the death of the mother, which occurs with reading the book and continues from then on. So there are always motifs of mourning in the notes of the individual days. The text was published as a special print by Villa Massimo and is not available in bookshops. Kuckart processed the text for her radio play of the same name (2000).
