Poetic Reflections

The present collection of poems is a continuation of The Road of Being, Germain Droogenbroodt�s former poetry book. The clear predominance of a critical approach to the current reality and the deterioration of the planet at all levels, latent in all his work but so evident now, does not mean a renunciation of the presence of nature, philosophy or metapoetry, fundamental throughout his already long career. Rather, on the contrary, what intensifies here is a manifest concern for the degradation of the environment, humanism, the capacity to think, silence . . . in short, it is the enormous unease for the perhaps irreversible deterioration of our civilization and for the legacy to future generations that runs through these Poetic Reflections from beginning to end.
