PIW presents Erik Lindner and Alfred Schaffer

Two young Dutch poets are presented on Poetry International Web: Erik Lindner and Alfred Schaffer.

Erik Lindner performed at the Poetry International Festival in 2002, on which occasion Paul Vincent made translations of his poetry. These translations are now available, along with a small essay containing up to date information on the poet, some links to related websites, and an illuminating review of Lindner’s latest collection Tafel (Table), by the Belgian critic Paul Demets.

Alfred Schaffer is one of the most exciting and successful representatives of the younger generation in Dutch poetry. Among the extras on his page is an animation film of his poem Droom en werkelijkheid (Dream and reality), made by Sander Alt.
