Een dorp

een dorp is een cirkel
met de hand rond een
kerk getrokken;

een duif is een zeer
eenvoudige luchtledige
lijn op een dak;

een voorjaar maakt natte
vlekken op het papier
van de lucht;

en kijk, dit is pas
werkelijkheid: straks
laat ik het regenen
op mijn gedicht
zodat het uitvloeit
tot een akwarel
van doordrenkte,
onleesbare woorden.

Although Roland Jooris published a relatively small number of poetry volumes over a period of forty years, they nevertheless succeeded in earning his a substantial reputation. In the wake of postwar experimentalism, in the late nineteen-fifties he published several hermetic collections, which he later rejected. Only ten years later did he ‘debut’ once more with poems in the vein of new realism, a trend in Dutch poetry that focuses on the ordinary day-to-day reality.In his work, Jooris goes in search of points of contact between poetry and reality. In his later work, too, reality remains the point of departure, but the poet endeavours to distil it even further, transforming it into a nucleus of calm, illusion and spiritualisation.

Jooris’ poetry evolves along the way into more stubborn terseness, into more language ascesis and calm. It is an evolution from concrete visibility to more abstract contemplation, from euphoria with regard to reality as poetry to the distillation of poetry as reality. His poetry is striking in its great expressive power, in its pureness of line and speech. French poetry has been a major influence in his work and he has a great admiration for the writings of André Du Bouchet and Pierre Reverdy.

Painting is a second inspiration for his work, much of which first saw the light of day in bibliophile collections, where his poetry was linked with images by his favourite painters. In addition to being a poet, Jooris is also a renowned art critic and champion of the art of painting. He has written essays on such painters as Raoul De Keyser, Eugene Leroy and Roger Raveel.

In daily life, Jooris used to be for a long time the curator of the Roger Raveel museum. In 2005 Jooris won the prestigious three annual Flemish Culture Prize for his collection Gekras (Scribblings).
