This modest volume, Unicorns in the Afternoon: Poetry of Promise, presents a number of unique poetic works by Joseph Leslie Gitnig, carefully selected and edited by Roeline van Berchum, that reveal the mystery, beauty, and harmony of creation hidden behind the mundane. Through these compositions we are reminded again of our true nature, which is divine.

I used to write in Dutch, considering the fact that I'm Dutch; but I've started to do more and more in English.

Thus this book you can find many English poems.

Every poem has a meaning; either literally of metaphorically.

I hope you'll enjoy reading!! Or should I say good luck..?

These words are golden.

It came from a heart that was made after it was broken.

If your quiet you can hear the things that couldn't be spoken.

These thoughts are capable to go deeper than the ocean.

The golden words that came from a golden soul.

These golden words make you reflect on your life to see what has never been shown.

The golden words is a compilation of reflec...

In this third chapter of collected poems, it’s all about bringing forth something that already exists,

the art of rewriting the same bearable and unbearable tensions of life. It’s about figuring out what went wrong in the past and all the lessons that we have learned from it.

novels (in Dutch). Above all,.. most of my poetry is in English of which this is a handful

carefully selected for you, “Whispers of time”.

life. Both of these passions, and life in general, is where I get a lot of my inspiration from,…..

'This book of poems is essentially cabalistic or pseudo-cabalistic, but not because it is in some way mystical, esoteric or secretive, but because it is numerical.

Kabbalah comprises a set of esoteric teachings meant to explain through symbols and numbers in most cases the relationship between God and the mortal and finite universe, which, ultimately, is God's creation. Here the poems aim to show in a tone of denouncement t...
