The book takes a selection of Goethe's romantic and colourful poems and makes them suitable for diviation. Goethe's Divan was inspired by the poetry of the celebrated Persian poet Hafez, whose work in turn is said to be used to tell the future. The book is designed as a playful introduction to Goethe's poetry and includes the original annotations from Alexander Rogers' 1890 translation. The book was made for the exhibition Poiesis, at the ArtSpace, Dusseldorf.
