I lose you to the fiction of beginnings

Today's brilliant but obscure writer is Sandra Huber. Sandra is the curator of the online literary magazine Dear Sir, (www.dearsir.org). She was gracious enough to include me in the second issue. What I love most about Dear Sir, is that it's one of the few magazines that publishes work in multiple languages ie: English, German, and French. And not just English translations. There is something very worldly and sophisticated being published next to a poem you know is beautiful, but unreadable. So you read it in that language, as if you knew that language, sounding out the words, making them something known to you. Such poetica! Sandra's poem "Himmel säumend" or "Sive Sky" appears in the first issue of Dear Sir, in German. There is also an english translation published in Ditch,. I will attach both versions. Brilliance. Enjoy!
