"a tiny nature" vum Robert Weis

In this 'recollections of poems and trees', Robert Weis unites two seemingly distant worlds: that of short poems inspired by haiku and that of bonsai trees. Flora and poetry blend naturally on these pages through free verse poems, short prose and photographs, with a single aim: to make us see the beauty within.

“Robert Weis' poetry collection A tiny nature: Recollections of poems and trees (2023) combines his exploration of the Japanese miniature poetic form of haiku with observations on the cultural form of bonsai, Japanese miniature trees. At the time of writing this review, in view of the impressive film Perfect Days by Wim Wenders, which has recently been released in the cinema and is also set in Japan (and also deals with trees, the play of light and shadow in foliage and attention to the little things in life), it has a strong symbolic work of art at its side - which allows for parallels and profound cross-connections.” (Claire Schmartz)
