Peter W. Petschauer Bücher

The subject of Peter Petschauer's latest book of poetry, Listen to Rarely Heard Voices, is that confluence point of noticing, attention, knowing, refusal not to know what one knows, and keen observation of the tiniest detail in the natural world to the largest canvas of history and culture. Petschauer brings these virtues to every topic he touches and to each poem he nature, family life and history, and the immense scale of history of societies - from ancient Western civilizations to Nazi Germany, to the Age of Trump and coronavirus. Often, as it happens in life, his father's history as an SS officer, family and society and the poet's personal development fatefully meet. Free of poetic conceit, Petschauer's style as poet is direct, concise, and clear.

The exploration of spatial dynamics reveals how humans navigate and manipulate the spaces they inhabit, often intruding on others' rights and experiences. The author critiques the balance between individual freedoms, such as the right to smoke, and the rights of others to remain unaffected. This examination extends to broader societal implications, addressing education, gender, environmental concerns, and human rights, highlighting the complexities of how we coexist and the responsibilities that come with our spatial interactions.
