Lotharius, Four in One

'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.
