Si more sonando
nacht waait uit de bomen weg,
brengt wind in de vleugels. uilen
wieken in hun sluierdans. roepen.
vredig geluid. wij kunnen praten.
schaduw nestelt zich in ons bed.
handen splijten onze blik, glijden
in het gerommel. breken de wet.
hoe zullen we vallen? onze kussen kruisen
het pad, bijten zich vast in het vel.
liefde spant als een gloeiend gewelf
tussen hemel en hel. tussen de dromen
en de sterren slaat zij het beleg.
uit: Hinkelspel, uitgeverij P, 2008

Read More2nd European Festival of Poetry
by Tumbleweed • April 30th, 2011
After some hesitation we have embraced the idea of a 2nd European Festival of Poetry: Note the date: September 17, 2011, 8PM, Permeke Library in Antwerp, Belgium. Poets from five countries and two continents will participate. The Netherlands: Paul Gellings, Job Degenaar and Catharina Boer, from Germany Wilfried Bienek and Fred Schywek (organisor) and from Brittany, France, Olivier Cousin. I put in a link to his poetic blog. From Belgium there will be established poets, young poets, the city poet laureate from Antwerp, a hard core performer, intimate and wise poets. Yet the big surprise is that it looks like one American poetess is coming over for the 2nd European Festival of Poetry: Devorah Major. She is a former city poet laureate of San Francisco, writes vibrant, moving poetry. She champions poetry as a tool of resistance, works with high school kids to open up their world and has given writing classes to the homeless. Meet devorah major in her poetry:
from: where river meets ocean
