A splendid view on words

English poems by the Flemish poet Willem M. Roggeman. Introduction by Roy Eales. Several translators, a.o. Susan and Roy Eales. "Willem M. Roggeman is a poet on the boil, constantly evolving, continuously experimenting. He tries new techniques, treats new themes, invents new styles. He likes to mix lyricism with the essay, with elements of science-fiction, jazz, ancient-classical myths, fables, legends and parables. This is what Roggeman means with the title of an earlier collection of selected poems The Metamorphoses of the Poet." (Roy Eales, part of the Introduction)
