Rein de Lange was the RIXT poet of the month June 2021. You can read his original Frisian poems of that month here. The translation of one of them – ‘Doppler effect’ – is published here.

Doppler effect she can barely hear this voices so sluggish devices behind her ears thin hair forms net curtains a still-life with geraniums nothing stays the same just listen: high tones are already coming, the low take all the old sounds away © Rein de Lange Translation: Trevor Scarse
