"Bumblebee, Bumblebee - Mors, Mors" is not only a common greeting in Hamburg, but also the title of Michael Hummel's satirical volume of poetry. In short poems, the author takes us into the world of everyday life, which has plenty of bizarre things to offer. There is swearing about the lack of cake in the café, a toad croaks like Johann Wolfgang Goethe or philosophizing about the broadening of horizons through experiences of nature. And the whole thing is always spiced up with biting humor. It's worth taking a moment to linger between the lines.
