The relay poem ‘De bui’ is completed! During the week at the Skriuwersarke of late Rink van der Velde at De Feanhoop, RIXT poets have worked together in pairs on the shared poem, which started with the line of Rink, ‘Rigel fan Rink’:
‘De mar nimt de bui net’
‘The lake doesn’t take the storm’
An English translation will be published on this site in due time.
The poets who worked on the poem are:
Janneke Spoelstra and Rein de Lange
Kate Schlingemann and Edwin de Groot
Anne Heegstra and Simen de Jong
Carla van der Zwaag and Tialda Hoogeveen
Ypie Bakker and Tsjisse Hettema
Syds Wiersma and Dirk Geerdink
