Uit die Kapersnest van Peter
Peter Holvoet-Hanssen
dear dear V e r s i n d a b a-friends,
having a jet lag after visiting the crazy Colombian city of Medellín
(exciting international Poetry Festival overthere) and being shocked
during my return by the sudden death of Simon Vinkenoog (I replaced
him at the opening of the first international Felix Poetry Festival
overhere (Antwerp)), and leaving on a holiday next monday till end of july
I had to decide to leave (enclosed) txt the way it is / was….
It would be a great honour if it would be published on the Versindaba-blog,
though it counts 11 pages… But then I have to insist that really EVERYTHING
remains the same, the words in italic, the whole lay-out, big or small, etc.,
the intro (!) (mentioning that it is only to be published at yours and not in a review
or another site or blog),… If so: go, go, go!
Ah, to be at Stellenbosch, luckily I can travel in my head…
But now I’m working on a novel, a love story, near Oostende…
If an interview or another way of presenting the text is obligatory,
I ask for your patience till August 2nd. Then I’m back here in ‘Het Kapersnest’.
Meanwhile, don’t forget it was a s p e e c h, written in a fever, with f i r e,
not an ‘essay’, rather guide lines for my ’speaking fire’ than an essay. Cf. intro
(that has to be shown), thank you!
Meanwhile, enjoy good times overthere, good health (Marlise, I
light a candle for you),…
C h e e r s and hope to hear from you soon! All the best -
Yours Truly,
‘Pedro de Amberes’
