Political Poetry: A Few Notes. Poetics for N30

"This work was started in the shade of the anti-globalization protests at the end of November, 1999 [N30, ed.] I considered N30 to be the closure of the nineties, of my adolescence, and of a seemingly total extinction of social desire." So states the poet in his magnum opus. In no way was the Dutch poetry reading public prepared for N30; nothing like it had been written in Dutch before.
