 According to Jeremy Adler, the poems contained in "Du" explore, "the changing and often tense relationship between the poet's self "Ich" (I), and an often undefined "Du" (You).This "Du", more than a single woman, is extended to include womankind, humanity, and God.This the 'love' recorded ranges from debased sexuality in "Freudenhaus" ("House of Pleasures") to the love of God in "Allmacht" ("Almighty").
