100 Dikter
Till Lindemann är för de flesta känd som sångare och textförfattare i Rammstein, men har sedan tjugo år tillbaka även ägnat sig åt att skriva lyrik. Med sina ofta korta och vassa dikter träffar han läsaren direkt och överraskar ofta.Till Lindemann skapar något nytt och originellt utifrån den tyska romantiska dikttraditionen där bland annat natur, kropp, kärlek, djur, död och sexualitet är viktiga komponenter. Han leker med de klassiska diktformerna, folkmusiktraditioner och rim, och skapar utifrån det en alldeles egen ton.Det är nu som vårt vi försvinnerNu då inga tårar längre rinnerStadig arm och vackert benMen inga ögonGråter som en stenOch inget hjärta

Holding and Letting Go
The social practice of forming, shaping, expressing, contesting, and maintaining personal identities makes human interaction, and therefore society, possible. Our identities give us our sense of how we are supposed to act and how we may or must treat others, so how we hold each other in our identities is of crucial moral importance. To hold someone in her identity is to treat her according to the stories one uses to make sense of who she is. Done well, holding allows individuals to flourish personally and in their interactions with others; done poorly, it diminishes their self-respect and restricts their participation in social life. If the identity is to represent accurately the person who bears it, the tissue of stories that constitute it must continue to change as the person grows and changes. Here, good holding is a matter of retaining the stories that still depict the person but letting go of the ones that no longer do. The book begins with a puzzling instance of personhood,
