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.
‘Lighten up, Kim Jong-un’ is the latest poem by Arjan Hut as Poet Laureate of Friesland. Today it can also be read in the regional newspapers Friesch Dagblad, Leeuwarder Courant and on the website of Omrop Fryslân.
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.”
