The verse in this volume can be read as a poetic dialogue about living and loving in a world in which "separations and returns are mediated by airline schedules, talk by the speed of light, and feelings by miles, rails, oceans, and pressurized cabines. Arrivals have already taken place and departures extend into electronic forms." In an age that markets instant gratification as the ultimate experience, maintaining a sense of individual dignity and creating meaningful personal spaces requires not only the ability to keep one's distance but also the willingness to yield to intensive intimacy, each in its turn. The words that Walter W. Hölbling and Gabriele Pötscher find for their thoughts on love, lust and loss are often widely diverging, sometimes complementary, always genuine. They are also "poems of movement across boundaries," transcending gender as well as culture, and show that men and women do not all come from different planets, even though they were born into different wor(l)ds.
