    About this series

    cage | stage - Volume II, 29 chinchillas – a title born from a trip to an exotic animal farm, takes the reader in a second story-orbit around the author's 'little universe', promising flowing, clear, plain speech poetry.

    Schmidt expresses his sensibility through conversational, straight-talking free verse. He has been dubbed a 'universal paterjester', whatever that means.

    His voice rings familiar, in whimsical, ironic tones, as he further explores his love of
    the embrace of opposites
    being in-between
    humour in dark places
    word play all day
    and so on.

    Dancing between his telescope and microscope, he embraces the magnitude of his dreams and the realities of every day. An observing, external voice regularly intervenes to help the poet achieve this feat.

    When the author becomes trapped in a navel-gazing bubble, a trickster appears with stars in his teeth and a needle in his hand.

    Mundane magic of kitchen lights. Fearful fun of daily creativity, with children. Morning walks and the neighbourhood's bird man. Holiday photographs and data dilemmas. On living with wild energy. Blowing bubbles with a 3-year-old. Contemplating a creative behind the big story – facing limitations. Diversity within national identity. The fear of seekers finding masters.

    Enjoy another lucky packet filled with poetic surprise.

      'Surrendering his paper planes to the winds of public opinion', Werner Schmidt, musician, writer, performer, publishes his debut collection of sixty poems, in a first of three volumes. As a fan of reality, he likes to embrace his perception of what is, and then imagine new possibilities. Volume I, death by design – a title that describes his awareness of the mysterious, reveals his openness to experiences such as a trip to the art museum, shopping mall, and the moments before the Big Bang. A mystic berry that pervades culture. An apocalypse, as predicted by satellite TV. The frightful joy of bringing children into this world. A living will, involving the Namib desert. The cultural evolution of cave dwellers. A story of stories. Soul fishers hooked on dogs playing cards. Ideas for constructive sex. Inspiration from taxi slogans. He gets a little blue, time traveling back to the beginning, followed by a poem on time. Existential questioning. Observing his life partner, 'stirring the oatmeal of their lives' and finally, his father, Schmidt rounds off this volume on life, death, loss, love, solitude and togetherness. Bare feet in the universal sandbox … 'a cool wind caresses my faith.' Schmidt, with bold uncertainty, goes where he has never gone before. Skeptical, ironic, questioning, he is 'like a snake eating itself', playing hide and seek. 'Brown-feathered sprites' and the use of plain speech are regular companions to the poet and to you, the reader. Enjoy flowing, clear, contemporary poetry.
