Böcker av Arjen Duinker

Arjen Duinker is one of Holland's most highly regarded poets, with seven collections of poetry to his name, and an array of prizes, including the prestigious Jan Campert Prize in 2001 for the best collection (awarded to his The History of an Enumeration). This is a collection full of laughter, exuberance, tenderness and the poet's humanity, brought alive to an Englishspeaking readership for the first time in Willem Groenewegen's painstaking and sensitive translation. In the words of a Dutch commentator: "e;The poems come right up to the reader, go through his pockets, check the seams and hems of his personality, his essence, his baggage, amiably but determinedly shaking him down."e;
