Say ‘Hello, Poetry!’ through Netherlands & Belgium
How to bring a broader public and poetry closer together? The Netherlands’ Poet Laureate, Anne Vegter, will be traveling from province to province to read poems alongside lovers and skeptics, experts and dabblers, alike. Accompanied by some of the most buzzed-about Dutch-language poets today – Vrouwkje Tuinman, Ellen Deckwitz, Charles Ducal, Maarten van der Graaff, Tsead Bruinja and 2016 VSB Poetry Prize nominee Maud Vanhauwaert – Vegter will offer a personable and energetic master class to guide readers, in the span of an hour, from ‘What is this?’ to ‘Wow, I get it!’
