Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is the outline of a poet who is trying to write about his conventional thinking. Ultimately, there is freedom. In Pure Water, the perfect world of the poet which all elements are inextricably linked was revealed. In Azotum, he loses his balance and falls prey to demonic arbitrariness. Tropics suspects the opportunity to participate in life. The influence of Father weighs heavily. When I Disappeared dissolves into a strange world. God then shows unreliable data in God Can Wait. With The Waitman reflecting the poet in his younger years. In Poems, he eventually takes to freely write what he wants. Roelof Broekman (1967) lives with his wife and daughter in the middle of the IJ in Amsterdam, where he composes and writes. Twenty-one of his poems were published in journals including Deus ex Machina, Kunsttijdschrift Vlaanderen, and Schoon Schip.
