Reviews

  • “The lyricist Karl Stangenberg declared the word doubt to be his muse, who wears a fool's cap. He wants language to free itself from its rigidity, and he lays down stumbling blocks wherever he can to shake the talker's imagined certainty. In this way he becomes a satirist who knows very well that mocking criticism means: handing medicine in a poisonous cup. He has something of a juggler who performs his tricks on the thin rope of grammar. ” “ (...) He turns to simplicity, because he has learned that it is the most complicated, and he chooses brevity to appeal to the reader to give yourself the opportunity to think of the rest. Karl Stangenberg - his poems show this very clearly - enjoys the language. He dares to venture into all the dead ends that our world brings and realizes that you can get through. "
  • “ Stangenberg is lovingly concerned with the meaning of nonsense; In bizarre pictures, the questionable ambiguity of the human-all-too-human in the banal entanglements of everyday life, but also the sometimes self-confirming idleness of some poetic attempts is targeted ... "
