In these pages, poetry becomes a bloodhound, philosophy a form of theatre, and satire a scalpel carved from moonlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning deathbed lullabies, spectral children, and postapocalyptic fairytales, \u003ci\u003eSauseschritt\u003c\/i\u003e is a delirious ride through the absurd, the intimate, and the metaphysical. It fuses experimental lyricism with biting humour, cosmic grief with political grotesquerie. One poem imagines Remco Campert rescuing himself from a tub of water-again and again. Another gives voice to a sock that speaks, every night, in a crumpled whisper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, Benders resurrects the surreal tradition of Daniil Kharms and Gellu Naum, while infusing it with a 21st-century urgency all his own. From whispered elegies to explosive invectives, his language leaps and stings-flashes of radioactive tenderness amid a fractured world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you love poetry that \u003cb\u003erisks everything\u003c\/b\u003e, prose that \u003cb\u003emutates into myth\u003c\/b\u003e, and writing that refuses to fit any mould, \u003ci\u003eSauseschritt\u003c\/i\u003e is the book you didn't know you were waiting for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cbr\u003e- Dozens of original poems in English\u003cbr\u003e- Absurdist microfictions and poetic essays\u003cbr\u003e- A posthumous visit from Maria, Unraveller of Knots\u003cbr\u003e- A prayer to the Ice Butterfly\u003cbr\u003e- And the heartbreak of yoghurt in three acts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWarning\u003c\/b\u003e: May cause unexpected revelations, minor hauntings, or spontaneous laughter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46333933060247,"sku":"9798296634979","price":1902.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798296634979.webp?v=1768670915","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sauseschritt-a-book-of-poetry-that-is-a-delirium-unto-itself-9798296634979","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
