> I would change the first paragraph a bit, perhaps, so that the reader is not feeling there is such a focus on the woman's physical features --- it grows into such a political and strong cultural commentary and it is also has another internal world of the main character which I found equally fascinating and which gave the story a psychological intensity. I also liked the way you expressed and developed the narrative -- with some semi-informal tone--but very realistic... I hope to always hear from you and if not to read your poems due to language problems but at least to hear that you are writing....regards from Yvonne

Dear Mrs. Vera,

thank you again for the encouraging words. I also hope very much to be able to start a real writing activity ... I wished I could let you read my different writings. Concerning the old man and his bus .... I originally wanted to send the story for example to BBC broadcast competitions (not for the sake of publishing itself, because I never intended to make money out of my work), but for the sake of showing another important way of civilization-clash, which does not include bombs and guns.

So what you think about this idea ? Is the story able to get a chance in such formus (is it in your oppinion worth getting published ?) ... and how would I proceed (I don't have addresses or Emails of such formus) ?

By the way : I am interested to attend your readings in germany. Please tell me if you come once more. Unfortunately I did not buy your book "Butterfly burning" until now so that I might be able to read and comment it.

Greetings

NASER

anyone interested in the story which changes itself whenever you read it ?

thanks for connecting Dan ...

I am a poet and writer in Arabic, German and English (with published work in both Arabic and German). I invented what i call half- and full-cycle exercises in which a poem in one language is transformed into another and then brought back to form a variation of the original. Half- and full- cycle exercises have been already applied to Rilke poems resulting in some Arabic and German counterparts. The idea of forming such variations of artistic work and connecting them together in one piece can also be applied to theater and movie. This is what interests me now.
