Arjen Duinker is one of Holland's most highly respected poets with
over ten collections to his name, and an array of prizes including
the prestigious Jan Campert Prize in 2001. Yet Duinker, by his own
admission, does not fit into the mould of a Dutch poet, being far
more concerned with reality than with abstractions. His poetry is
very much about the reality of things as separate, self-contained
entities, about flowers, stones, mountains, wind and water; he
consistently tries to shed his own personality to make room for the
things he experiences without thinking. This is a collection full
of laughter, exuberance, tenderness and the poet's humanity,
brought alive to an English-speaking readership for the first time
in Willem Groenewegen's painstaking and sensitive translation.
