‘Wanderer’ is the latest poem by Sigrid Kingma as the Poet of Fryslân. Also available today in the Friesch Dagblad, the Leeuwarder Courant and on the website of Omrop Fryslân.

The Poet of Fryslân, Sigrid Kingma: ‘Project Bosk is a fairytale-like experience. The walking trees in Leeuwarden have a special effect on passers-by. People settle there like birds and whistle on to their work or appointment. Poetry has to be part of Bosk.’

On Thursday 7 July, the Poet of Fryslân will read the poem ‘Wanderer’ together with poets from the poets collective RIXT and Dichter Bij Leeuwarden on the Boskpodium in Obe, Leeuwarden.
