Consequently, Hut, who was officially designated as Poet Laureate of Fryslân in 2023, will be able to continue his work and projects as the province’s poetic ambassador for one additional year. Among other activities, he will open a walking exhibition he has curated at the literature festival Meet Me at the Lighthouse in November, featuring unique book covers from Frisian poetry collections.
