Als ich die Strickleiter hinaufstieg im Dunkeln, / wußte ich nicht, wohin die Reise ging, / nur eben dies: hinauf." Wer sich Matthew Sweeneys Gedichten anvertraut, kann nie wissen, wo er landet, in Grönland oder im Inneren eines gigantischen Rotkohls, und ob nicht gleich ein singendes Pferd oder eine gläserne Nixe um die Ecke biegt. Wohin auch immer die Strickleiter führt, Sprosse für Sprosse, Vers für Vers sind Sweeneys Gedichte von anschauli...
