Poetry is not bits and pieces of multiple sadness for this poet. It is an unpretentious and transparent sight. Silent screams can be heard on intensive listening. What the leaves tell each other, probably their extreme noise. The sound of poetry crossing the land even while writing about the land.

The linguistic strategy that leads readers to poems through images of daily life, make Sebastian’s poems not just private but a political experience.

Sebastian’s poems are seismometer that captures waves of the great tragedy. They don’t become predictions of disaster. Readers realize words frying in the heat of experience.

I greet you the shade of the great tree which is not useless in the sun. I strengthen your teeth to tear apart the fingers of the poet who writes the best poems.
