Die Lichtenbergfiguren. Gedichte. Zweisprachige Ausgabe

Ben Lerner's "Die Lichtenbergfiguren" is an unconventional sonnet collection exploring the interplay between language and memory, structured form and unleashed violence. The title references Lichtenberg figures, aesthetic patterns formed by electrical discharges. The poems reflect contemporary culture's complexities through repetition and collage, blending academic vocabulary with slang and biblical language.
