On Friday, April 24, the poem ‘Anne and Arie’ by Poet of Friesland, Nyk de Vries, was featured in ‘Fryslân from above’. The poem was written by islanders on the beaches of Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog and this produced beautiful images.
‘Fryslân from above’ is a project of the Frisian municipalities, Leeuwarden-Fryslian 2028, Omrop Fryslân and the Leeuwarder Courant.
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.
