Waking The Warbling Sound

Meeting Sola, his dusky Muse, will change the poet's artistic direction. At Amanda's 'Writers Write' workshop, where budding writers meet, their relationship soon starts to bloom, and Sola, his potential Muse inspires him to write love poems for her, and he will cast her as his ideal heroine for his debut novel: 'Spleen of Love'.
Love poems from his previous time with Aleta seem to flow seamlessly into the poetry for Sola, his present love interest, with whom he experiences a renaissance in his approach to the written verse.
Aleta has morphed into Sola and Sola into Aleta, at times.
'Waking in love' reflects his adoration for Sola, while in 'Love and Literature' the poet AKA Zed, learns about his love for Aleta, yet it seems the names of these racy women are perfectly interchangeable.
'Azza Island' is a further creation of a magical place in the skies, created for téte-à-tétes with Aleta, while the poet lived in Africa.

Born in Eastern Austria, close to the Hungarian border, he witnessed as a young man the horrors of a nation's suppression, erupting in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. He finished his education in art and architecture in Vienna, married, and sailed for the Cape of Africa, an adventure that followed his childhood dreams. He had drawn African animals for his art classes, but the time had come to see them in their natural habitat.
Meeting a varied facet of people and cultures, working as a draughtsman for an engineering office, as an architect for a cultural centre, and as a coordinator of craftsmen and professionals, he made good use of his language skills traveling throughout Southern Africa.
During a trip to Lesotho, a native artist showed him rock paintings with their stark palimpsest outlines and typified movements of animals and humans. It made a lasting impression on him and influenced his artistic work.
His vast collection of drawings and slides had been lost during a change of domiciles, but further studies of the art of the San people reawakened his dormant artistic longing for expression of his art, filling sketchbooks with drawings and notebooks with poetry and prose. While revisiting the capitals of Europe, he sensed the bond of art being borderless and free, reaching out across continents into the world.
During a visit to Greece, he was accepted into a circle of artists and poets, who encouraged him to continue his art and a friend introduced him to the works of famous Greek poets.
In South Africa, he joined writing and poetry workshops of 'Writers Write'. It was to open the floodgates of his creativity. He decided to travel through Greece and visit its sites of antiquity, read up on Classical mythology, and enjoy translations of Greek poetry and prose.
He settled in 2013/14 in Klosterneuburg-Weidling. Poet Nikolaus Lenau is buried here. Franz Kafka had visited here. Their writings will always be an inspiration.
