One day after the official appointment, Eeltsje Hettinga as first Poet of Fryslian performed at the Explore the North festival in Leeuwarden. With a strong performance in the Westerkerk, which he concluded with the Poet of Fryslân poem ‘Under de steden’, his first performance as Poet of Fryslân was a fact.
The Poet Laureate of Friesland, Arjan Hut: “Shall we just assume that it is still raining when this poem appears? The weather can force us inside. But for some a window is a privacy leak, for others a thing to to look outside.”
‘Less WiFi, more poetry’ is the latest poem by Arjan Hut as Poet laureate of Fryslân. Can also be read today in the Friesch Dagblad, the Leeuwarder Courant and on the Omrop Fryslân website.
