    “Hope” is the thing with feathers / Hoffnung ist das Federding (edited, first published on 23rd May 2021)

    This episode is about "hope". I read Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope" is the thing with feathers first in English and then in German. The poem in German is my own translation. At the beginning, I share some childhood memories of listening to birdsong in the mornings and watching birds together with my grandmother.   This episode is also available as a blog post: https://germaninlondon.wordpress.com/2021/05/23/hope-is-the-thing-with-feathers/

    Poppies / Mohnblumen

    This episode is also available as a blog post: https://germaninlondon.wordpress.com/2021/06/07/poppy-mohnblume/ Poppies or Mohnblumen covered the roadsides, country lanes and even entire fields during the month of May, which turned the countryside here in Tierre de Campos into a beautiful painting. This inspired me to write the poem Mohnblumen.
