Get the growl out of the dog

Iduna Palman

Nothing is happening yet. But if you mistake the lentils on your plate for a disease under the microscope, you start to have doubts. The poet in Iduna Paalman's poetry is scaredy-cat and risk manager in one. In her sentences, the danger speaks to you reassuringly, but what are you to believe? Can you take the math error out of a steel structure, carve love into a new house, stay carefree when you're swimming next to a sniper?

Meanwhile it is getting warmer and meadows, mattress shops and hollowed out cakes prove to be unsuitable hiding places. Getting the growl out of the dog looks for ways to avert disaster, in precepts, fairy tales and that strange suspicion: that maybe things will work out.
