WORK
I do and did
Working on my first novel and a new book of poetry for New
Amsterdam Publishers. I also continue working as a freelance
writer/editor/journalist for a variety of clients.
Recently an anthology of
‘new Dutch poets in the zeroes’ appeared,
edited by Erik
Jan Harmens. It included two poems by me. This summer I traveled
back to Ukraine and spent a lot of time reading new American
poets for a North America special of the Dutch literary magazine Lava.
