ik ben hier
hier
in een steelse pan die doldraait
en zich afvraagt
afvraagt afvraagt afvraagt
wat als en of en
want
echt
zou het zo verder kunnen
wanneer je geest openklapt
als hapering
als
mozaïekverwantschap
en
komaan zeg, dat kun je toch niet
menen
zo zit je in elkaar
er niet intrappen
dat is je natuurlijke setting
niet?
de dingen altijd anders zien
open houden
pijnbestrijding inzetten
als kennisverwerving
kennisverwerking begrijpen als
pijnbestrijding
niet alles is een taalspel
want alles is
maar niet alles is groen
he
niet alles
is
alsof het ontstond om opgeschreven
te worden

Geert Buelens is a poet, essayist and lecturer of Modern Dutch Literature at the University of Utrecht. He writes columns for the Beglain newspaper De Standaard. In 2001 he attracted a lot of media attention with a book on the Flemish avant-garde poet Paul van Ostaijen and his influence on twentieth-century poetry in Flanders. This study was awarded the prestigious triennial Flemish Culture Prize for Essays in 2003, and has been widely acknowledged as the reference work on the experimental tradition in twentieth-century Flemish poetry. In 2002, Buelens published his first collection of poems: 'Het is', which was awarded the Lucy B. en C.W. van der Hoogt-prize. In 2005, his second poetry collection 'Verzeker u' (Ensure) followed.

In 2008 he published Europa Europa (Europe, Europe), an essay book about the effect of the First World War on modern poetry, in which he tries to contextualise the poetics of great European poets such as Rilke, Pessoa, Majakovski and Apollinaire.

At first sight Geert Buelens' poetry appears to be difficult, and while it can hardly be called simple, it is never uncomprehensible. Rather, it links the quest for the appropriate linguistic structure with the everyday struggle of the lyrical protagonist. He has an extraordinary ear for rhythm and sound and is strongly influenced by twentieth-century American poetry. As a former editor of the literary magazine Yang he translated American poets such as Bruce Andrews, Michael Palmer and Louis Zukofsky and edited a special issue of Yang on LANGUAGE-poetry.
