Bilingual poetry collection in the making

I used that strange period between the holidays to give my poetry collection “Driftwood – Drijfhout” the finishing touch. In this bilingual collection, every poem is in both English and Dutch. I did all the translations myself, but I did pay a professional, native-speaking translator to proofread the English versions.

And even though many of those poems had already been published in magazines around the world, with her help, I was able to make lots of small improvements.

My previous poetry collection (in Dutch) dates back to 2016 and has been sold out for quite some time. So it was about time for a new collection – and my first English one.  

I am currently sending the collection to publishers around the world. It is still too early to say where and how it will be published. But I couldn’t resist shouting it from the rooftops, because one thing is certain: this collection is coming. One way or another.
