Forty years ago, Franziska Poyntner founded the Literary Circle of Traismauer - reason enough to honor not only the founder but also the many former and still active members with a festive anthology. As Franziska Poyntner's granddaughter, Sabina Naber sets a memorial to her grandmother with a story about poetry.

My small moist hand in her firm big one. I have to keep running to keep up with her. "Grandma, not so fast." She slows down, smiling down at me. "Soon you'll be as fast as me. And one day you'll have to outrun me and wait for me." I can't imagine that.
Grandma and granddaughter - that's hiking, gathering herbs, going to the theatre, telling stories and saying goodbye far too soon.
