Poems of Guido Gezelle
The Bruges-born poet-priest Guido Gezelle(1830–1899) is generally considered one of the masters of nineteenth-century European lyric poetry. At the end of his life and in the first two decades of the twentieth century, Gezellewas hailed by the avant-garde as the founder of modern Flemish poetry.

En over ménsen met koeien. Met Wat wil de koe, dat volgt op Zomer, Winter en Het eeuwige leven, besluit Koos van Zomeren de vierdelige cyclus die gebaseerd is op zijn fameuze voorpaginarubriek in NRC Handelsblad.
