”Udvalget er vilkårligt sammensat af ren lyst og ud fra dagens læsning. Digtene er alle uden undtagelse med, fordi de har haft en tone, som vi er faldet for. Og som har vakt genklang. Snublesten. De ligger på vejen og får dig til at miste fodfæstet. Et øjeblik er du fri af tyngdekraften og kan flyve til en stjerne”.
