Sometimes it seems almost crazy to Anton G. Leitner that he spends all his energy for months on a new issue of his annual periodical The poem plugged. In these dark moments, all he wants to do is scream at the images of horror, whether from Ukraine or the Gaza Strip. Nevertheless, fortunately for all poetry lovers, the Weßlingen poet and publisher continues his intensive commitment to poetry. Not entirely unselfish, of course. Ultimately, as he immerses himself in the wonderful world of silent verse, he forgets all the terrible news for a while, writes Leitner in the foreword to the most recent, the 31st. poemwhich he published together with Frank Klötgen.
