[Al wie opgewekt is]

Al wie opgewekt is, mag naar zaal Paardenbloem.
Dat geldt ook voor iedereen die sterk en spontaan is.
Ook sociale of stoere personen gaan met Geoffrey mee.

De anderen blijven hier om de grondverf
om te roeren en daarna een dunne laag aan te brengen.
Daar heeft iemand een vraag, graag in de loopmicrofoon.

Wat met de zelfverzekerde mensen?
Nog even jullie aandacht. Ook zelfverzekerde mensen mogen
Geoffrey of Sylvia volgen naar de Paardenbloem.

Paul Bogaert’s debut collection of poems, WELCOME HYGIENE, was published in 1996. It features verses full of bizarre logic and a carefully measured mixture of styles and linguistic registers. His restless first person narrator is plagued with over-awareness; the way he analyses himself and others creates an alienating effect.

The same rousing mental and physical sensations surface in his second volume Circulaire systemen (Circular systems, 2002). In this collection Bogaert examines his fascination for all things that rotate. A closed, circular system generates security, but also discomfort. In an aloof, pseudo-scientific tone he creates poetic language machines, in which the ordinary is contrasted with the systematic.

In 2006, his third collection of poems, AUB (PLEASE), was published. In 2008 Paul Bogaert wrote the National Poetry Day essay Verwondingen (Injuries), in which he tries to explain the secrets of poetry by analysing the Serbian contribution (2007) to the Eurovision Song Contest.

de Slalom soft (the Slalom soft, 2009) is a long, sparkling, narrative poem, featuring a lifeguard in a subtropical swimming paradise, personal coaches, drowned bodies and office workers.

In just a few years and with only four collections of poems, Bogaert has proved himself one of the most striking voices among young Flemish poets.” (Tom Van de Voorde)
