21/04/2020

As Poet of Fryslân, Nyk de Vries wrote a poem for the project ‘Fryslân from above’, which will be written on the beaches of the four Frisian Wadden Islands. The inhabitants of the islands write a stanza on the beach on all four islands.

Next Friday April 24 ‘Fryslân fan Boppen’ will be broadcasted on Omrop Fryslân TV containing the drone images of the islands so that the poem can be read from above. ‘Fryslân from above’ is broadcasted from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm and at 9:30 pm. Of course, the images can also be seen via ‘Utstjoering mist’ and via the Facebook page of the Dichter fan Fryslân project.
