Marije Langelaar

(Netherlands, 1978)
 

Marije Langelaar (Netherlands, 1978) is a visual artist as well as a poet. She gives expression to the natural forces that operate between people and between people and their environment – exchanges that turn out to be far from idyllic. In her vitalist, often surrealist poems, fairytale meets horror story and passion meets death. Although Langelaar’s debut collection shines with light and lust, in her second, prizewinning volume the darkness pushes its way to the surface. The combination of a playful feeling of astonishment with an energy that reaches as far as death gives her poetry a vitality and sensuality.
