Erika Burkart is without a doubt the most unique, lyrical voice in contemporary Swiss literature.
Peter von Matt
Burkart’s poems leave behind much more than a fleeting trace in the snow. Her delicate poetic footsteps have long since inscribed themselves in the memory of nature and her readers.

Neue Züricher Zeitung
Erika Burkart possessed something like a second sight. She saw people, nature, the world, with both an inner and outer vision.
