Originalausgabe »Timeless Experience«:
»Collected for the first time, readers are hereby granted access to
an inner world of poems and problems, efforts to grasp and desires
to see. Put grandly – also appropriately – this volume presents an
artist at work. Cast in vivid light, ›Timeless Experience‹ contains
what its well-chosen title conveys.«
»Being new to L. Perls writings myself, I appreciated the backstory
but grew hungry for the main meal. The meat of ›Timeless
Experience‹ comes in the eleven chapters that follow Perls Journal
entries, poems, letters, and occasional short stories
chronologically.«
»Inarticulacy felt is not the same as inarticulacy rendered. It is
painful to sense the pregnancy in many moments, not to mention the
full-throttled power in nature, and to feel the bruise of
inadequacy. Yet L. Perls is a model in that she did write, often
through her fear of incompletion. In this light, her collected
notebooks are a triumph, as elucidating as primary source material
as they are rewarding as poetry and prose.«
