Himmelgeist

By Frank Luger

"Himmelgeist" (German for 'Spirit of Heaven') is subtitled "A Poetry of Divine Agony". Why? Because it is devoted to one theme only: an uncompromisingly honest search for God, not as a truth of any organized religion or individual belief, but as a fact of the same indisputable kind as gravitation or electromagnetism. However, except for a few poems, science as such is absent from this volume; and the 'operational framework' is still the God of the Bible, i.e. the kind of Heavenly Father that most people still associate with the concept of God. The search herein is not unlike an intellectual-moral Odyssey, which shows a kind of evolutionary pattern from some initially gloomy imagery to the cautious optimism of the closing poems. The pen-name "Felix" of the previous volume is replaced by "Dr. Mir", in fact, this book contains every poem written by him over a 21-month period. This is an original literary work, written from June 1987 until March 1989, first published in 2007.
