ORIGINALITY (2)


I believe in originality; my poems are my property, I am as old as the world, I am different from others.

Jan de Roek





Poetry for me is a matter of observing, and although the non-recognition of two identical objects remains a utopia, somewhere there lies the starting point of what I now call originality: a matter of forgetting, almost.

What I write is not for little girls.
