Gedichten zijn lijstjes om je gevoel. Ik zou iets over het lijstwerk kunnen zeggen (ongeverfd ruw hout, hier en daar steken de splinters er nog uit) maar niets over het plaatje, het gevoel zelf. Dat kan alleen maar met een ander gedicht. Zo vat ik samen wat ik weet Er ligt iets in het gras zolang ik leef kan ik het pakken Zo ziet de foto eruit op de rug gezien en tastend naar iets in het gras Maar wat? De kat achter de spiegel was zo gek nog niet Woorden blinderen met hun oppervlak.

His poems make you forget what poetry is. Bernlef's secret is in the way he looks at things. His attention to the ordinary, to the marginal, the so-called extra literary has not only enlarged the realm of the poetic but challenges the hierarchies and preconceived notions about what is or is not considered literary. -- Dutch critic Hans Kloos
Bundel artikelen over leven en werk van de Nederlandse schrijver (1937).
This book brings together almost all of the known interviews Elizabeth Bishop gave over a period of thirty years. Included also are a few selected pieces based on conversations with her. All together they allow her ardent and admiring readers a rewarding, close-up encounter with one of America's great writers. In this collection of conversations Bishop expresses her opinions about various types of poetry, describes her view of the geography of the imagination in the writing process, defends her often criticized feminist views, and discusses her role as teacher and poet. Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) won many prizes for poetry, including a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award. She was graduated from Vassar, where she knew Mary McCarthy. She taught at Harvard, New York University, and the University of Washington and was a long-time resident in Brazil.
