It is therefore worthwhile to draw a connecting line to another poet-philosopher\u2014the American Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson. In his essay „Circles,“ he offers a notion of the end as a new beginning\u2014an image that encapsulates the essence of Rosemarie Zens‘ world view with striking precision. Around every circle, another circle may be drawn; beneath every depth, a further depth opens up.

\n\u2192<\/span><\/span> PalmArtPress – Rosemarie Zens<\/a><\/p>\nA Celebration of the Transitory. Adventures of the Possible<\/h2>\n
\nNot orienting oneself towards the fixed, the familiar, or the routine\u2014but rather embracing the adventure of the possible, of the transitory\u2014this is the guiding principle that recurs throughout these essays. What one regains after taking a step back\u2014be it from a place, a life situation, a moving experience, or a mental attitude\u2014has, in the course of artistic formalization, in the course of literary condensation arising from this distance, gained emotional and intellectual value and will continue to be experienced as such.<\/p>\n
