De aarde nu

Rate this book
Het klimaat zorgt voor eindeloze discussies en verhitte standpunten. Dichtend Nederland en België doet via de bundel 'De aarde nu' een duit in het zakje. Onder andere bekende namen als... Menno Wigman, Carmien Michels, Ellen Deckwitz, David Troch, Lotte Dodion, Alexis de Roode, Hanneke van Eijken en Thomas Möhlmann... nemen de lezers mee in een verontrustende, maar ook zinneprikkelende en uitdagende wereld. Deze bloemlezing bevat grotendeels werk dat hier speciaal voor geschreven is. 'Klimaat, daar hebben we iets over te melden', zo luidde een eerste respons. Bovendien is er extra ruimte voor de zestien kwatrijnen die de toenmalige dichter des Vaderlands Gerrit Komrij in 2000 schreef over het klimaat en de toekomst van de aarde. Speciaal voor 'Den Haag' liet Jan Pronk (minister van milieu), een dichtbundel en een film maken onder de titel 'The Straw that Breaks the Camel's back...?' Deze bundel bevat een aparte herdruk van dit werk.

About the author

Gerrit Komrij

178 books30 followers
Gerrit Jan Komrij was a Dutch poet, novelist, translator, critic, polemic journalist and playwright. He rose to prominence in the early 1970s writing poetry that sharply contrasted with the free-form poetry of his contemporaries. He acquired a reputation for his prose in the late 1970s, writing acerbic essays and columns often critical of writers, television programs, and politicians. As a literary critic and especially as an anthologist he had a formative influence on Dutch literature: his 1979 anthology of Dutch poetry of the 19th and 20th centuries reformed the canon, and was followed by anthologies of Dutch poetry of the 17th and 18th centuries, of Afrikaans poetry, and of children's poetry. Those anthologies and a steady stream of prose and poetry publications solidified his reputation as one of the country's leading writers and critics; he was awarded the highest literary awards including the P. C. Hooft Award (1993), and from 2000 to 2004 he was the Dutch Dichter des Vaderlands (Poet Laureate). Komrij died in 2012 at age 68.
