| biography:
| Poet and essayist, born in Goor, E Netherlands. Until 1995 he combined his work as a psychiatrist and writer, making his literary debut with Onder het vee (1966, Under the Livestock), a collection of nonmetrical poems describing feelings and memories in a plain and unsentimental way. His early work is often compared to the work of Herzberg and Emmens, who were collectively classified as so-called Tirade poets, but his later work is more abstract and objective in nature. |
