RICHARD FOQUÉ

The poem rewrites itself
it can't speak
just letters becoming words
like digits a number



From: De Grote Rokade, 2012.

HANS DEKKERS

Poetry wants to say something to us but what it is she wants to say remains hidden, although we feel its presence. It is not vague, on the contrary, it's quite concrete what poems do with us. That’s what makes poetry attractive and therefore I’m inclined to dedicate myself to this higher form of stammering.

Poetry is writing inside out.

Death is a new office building filled with modern furniture,
A wise thing, but which has no purpose for us.

There are many roads leading to poetry - each real poet clears his own path.

When I have a final line in mind
I try to write a poem with it
and when I have a first line
it may become a story

sometimes I just have a line.



Is the poet a Titan suffering from acrophobia or a heron with fear of flying?
