Volker Sielaff's new volume of poetry "Fragen an den Yeti", published by Voland & Quist / Edition Azur, once again spans a wide arc: from childhood in Lusatia to the streets of London. We meet Sylvia Plath, the birdman and an anonymous young artist.
The SZ wrote enthusiastically about this book: "In his new volume, Volker Sielaff is more perceptive, colourful and norm-obsessed than ever before."
