Witty and wise, playful and philosophical, the poems and other short writings of German poet Michael Augustin (translated here by his wife, the Indian poet Sujata Bhatt) are instantly recognizable and not easily forgotten: typically terse but luminous, and always, it would appear, somewhat puzzled by the strange fact of their existence—no doubt one of the many reasons they seem to speak so directly to the reader.
