A Thousand Winds May Make A Storm.
Poems and Aphorisms, translated by Hans W. Panthel, The Edwin
Mellen Press, Lewiston, New York, 1990.
Dewran`s lyrical poetry, for the greater part political in
character and rather pressing in message, modern in style,
intent, and import, distinguishes itself nonetheless through
moderation, on the other hand one should not overlook the
poetry`s latent quality which consists in his spelling out
what he would like to see rectified in the society of his
critique.
He calls a spade a spade wherever necessary and exhorts as
much as he reminds. In this regard, his unconventional verse
assumes the role of a social lawmaker whose humanist intentions
look selfish only to the callous or the narrow-minded. One
looks in vain for the strident activist element in it. Its
tone is more elegiac than harsh, pleading for more understanding,
fairness, goodwill and love than expressing justified accusation
and giving a recipe for resentment.
(Prof. Dr. Hans W. Panthel, Ontario/Canada, from
