Liebe Leserinnen und Leser! Dear Readers!

Ich bin wieder da :o) ! My anthology of poetry is back!

Some of you have wondered why I have not posted anything recently. I have continued writing, of course, and have had poems published in newspapers and on calendars, which I shall all put up here also.

Two years ago, I had already published 600 of my best poems on this site, so I have raised my target from 500 to 1,000 poems! This is not about mass, though, this is about quality of poetry.

Alert observations, intense emotions, clear insights.

Vivid images and musical language.

Beauty discovered and created.

Life condensed into art.

Art celebrating life.

Half of the texts are in English and half in German, so I hope that many readers in many countries can enjoy them. My comments are in English, trusting that most of you can read them easily. Remember that automatic translations cannot convey the magic of literary language. Sometimes, I translate my verse, or rather, recreate it in the other language. (These posts are marked as Parallel poems.)

Feel free to use my poems and photos for any non-commercial purposes as long as you always give my name or the name of the site (Christina Egan – Poetry & Plays), and if it is online, link to the post or the site. (See copyright note below.)

Keep reading and reciting poetry – and perhaps writing some!
