“I see writing as a passionate activity, like any other.”
I could have said it, this is however a quote by A. S. Byatt. ‘The Biographer’s Tale’ by this author is a thoughtful and rich account of the impossibility of biography. She composes the imaginary biography of an imaginary great man, set in a reality of time and place and a vast array of historic...

Symforosa 87 - Belgium (in Dutch
Revolution
Once Dina had met a man in a dark three-piece suit and he had been introduced as being responsible for oceans and seas. He had made her think of her father. With each thought the revolt had sharpened. Who was that man thinking he could control the elements. How presumptuous such a title. Now for such...

Symforosa 87 - Belgium
Roberta, are you really alone tonight. Will you be dreaming. Will you at breakfast be shining, even if the part Indian, part shaman hurt you with his talk about spirit and healing because he was taking and stealing from your soul? Or wasn’t it that way? You know about clearing with salt and sound. You know the rhythms of the drum for...

Poem

werkwoorden-werkworte- workbook - BoD, 9783839180556
This poem was written in Valencia during a mission for work. It was carneval when the locals throw a ring into the sea to confirm their bond.
Golden shoes
and lace
on a bony knee
of aged Sundays
and pearl
around necks of
sagging flesh
waiting
in excitement
for the procession
of sha red solitude
Behind the ardent rows
the beauties
pass
no need yet
for...

Essay
Feb.23.2013
European Parliament website of epWin
Developing the literary section of the epWIN website threw me into big questions both about feminism and literature. I had offered regularly to provide French or English poems or texts written by women. I dreamt the texts to be encouraging and inclusive, powerful and tender, extraordinary in a way or just touching my soul, heart or mind.
This however turned into...

The Chloride Chronicle and 'Werkwoorden, Werkworte, Workbook'
ColumnsWhy do I write the short columns you read? For money? For glory? Because of ego? I don’t think so. Maybe it is practice. I am not quite sure what the practice is for.

Internal publication of the European Parliament's women's:EP-Win:1998 group
The magnificent Chaos of women's lives is to me the perfect title for a literary page about two contemporary female writers from India. The most famous author is without doubt Arundhati Roy. With her debut novel ‘God of small things’ she won the Booker prize in 1997. At the last count the book had been translated into 40 languages. The book is set in Kerala,...
