‘Lotharius, Four in One’, 40 poems in Dutch, French, German and English by Han Berghs.
‘Lotharius, Four in One’ is a short version of ‘Lotharius, 40 reflections’ (Han Berghs, 2012)
In each poem are the four languages mixed up and combined in a special way.
The poems speak for a great social involvement and realism, but also for a strong imagination in the search for the essence of life and love.
‘Lotharius, Four in One’ underlines the international character of the Euro-region ‘Meuse and Rhine’, the former Lotharingia.
In the 21st century, this area is still a point of intersection for French, German and Dutch languages and culture, with the English language as the common language for politics, commerce, industry and art.
