"To study the history of the world's art without considering Dutch painting -- from Rembrandt and Vermeer (and the Jan Steen of the Dutch interior) to Van Gogh, Mondrian, and Karel Appel -- would be madness. How strange, then, that so little is known of what the Dutch have achieved in most other art forms. In the case of poetry in particular, this ignorance appears to be almost total. This anthology of the work of some forty-five Dutch and Flemish poets of the past forty years demonstrates at last the vitality and breadth of modern Dutch poetry." (dj) Uncommon.
