| biography:
| Poet, essayist, and biologist, born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He studied biology and was an editor of Propria Cures. His professional background as a biologist is apparent in his work in which he agitates against the destruction of the natural balance by people and the advancing mass culture. Despite the gravity of this subject matter, his poetry has a light-hearted tone. His work also includes original essays about literature, music, and visual arts. |
