Each cover of the poetry booklets is designed by hand by the artist. She uses "weeds" like wild parsley and dandelion from the garden as a stencil to finish the booklet cover with copper spray paint. 
So-called "blackout poems" have semi-transparent inserts inside the poetry booklet, which highlight the words of the poems and make the story behind them disappear. The stories curated around the blackout poems tell either a true autobiographical incident of the artist, or a fictional situation that underpins the feeling of the poem.
The first chapter of the poetry booklet contains poems and songs of her performance "Pflanzenfreundin". You can listen to the first song 'Tree of Life' and the last song 'Diamant' on Spotify, Youtube and Apple Music. Find the lyrics below (scroll down).

I'm walking and walking up the tree of life
Taking step-by-step
Eating the crumbs 
You threw at me
On a daily basis 
Your crumbs feed me through
I'm walking and walking
But where to
I don't know

The tree of life seems round
There's something new
To be found
The tree of life seems round
There's something new
To be found
Life could be circular

And the flow state of mind
I'm addicted to
It is leaving me behind
My flow state of mind
The wave keeps me rolling
Day by day
It is dragging me along

The tree of life seems round
There's something new
To be found
The tree of life seems round
There's something new
To be found
Time could be circular

We're walking and walking
But where are we going?
We're walking and walking

But where to
I don't know



As long as I keep holding you in the light 
I found that you keep shining bright
I’m so glad I found you
Walkin’ through a desert in my life
You give me the sparkle of joy, I keep us moving

And I keep turning you
We’re dancing to the moon
I keep turning you
We’re spinning and flyin’
And I keep turning you, 
Spin and fly

Then and now your cold sharp sides sting my hands,
Oh these edges, life caused
Now and then your strong rough surface causes me pain, 
Guiding me to let you go, 
Leave you fly free
And every time you turn yourself around 
I find my skin covered 
In the reflections of your grounds

And I keep turning you 
We’re dancing to the moon 
I keep turning you,
We're spinning and flyin’
And I keep turning you

And soon we dive
In the reflections of your bright mind
