Je houdt het niet tegen, groot worden. Maar Maartje Smits wilde het eigenlijk niet. In 'Als je een meisje bent' probeert zij het volwassen worden te vangen door het schimmige gebied tussen kind en vrouw vast te leggen in beelden en bekentenissen. Maar de dichtbundel is tevens een gebruiksaanwijzing voor meisjes (m/v), alsook de definitieve omhelzing en tegelijkertijd het afscheid van het meisje.

Commonly viewed as a revolutionary and propagandist Herman Gorter (1864-1927) is often overlooked despite his lasting contribution to Dutch poetry. This selection of thirty-one poems, translated by Paul Vincent, focuses on Gorter's experimental love and nature lyrics in Poems of 1890, and the Introduction sets the poems in the context of his earlier seminal work 'Mei' (May) as well as his often neglected Socialist verse.The lyrical expansiveness, consistent use of rhyme and vivid imagery of the Dutch landscape that characterises 'Mei' evolves into more fragmentary verse in Poems of 1890, and the joyful celebratory tone of Gorter's poetry increasingly co-exists with a sense of isolation and introspection. This can be viewed in the context of a rapidly changing political scene in Europe in the prelude to the First World War and the Russian Revolution. This is a valuable collection that revisits Gorter's literary and political legacy, and introduces English-speaking readers to a selection of his most accessible and lyrical poems.

Dutch Golden Age poet Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687) was a remarkable figure: in addition to writing poetry, he composed music; was secretary to two Princes of Orange, Frederick Henry and William II; and became a friend to John Donne, Rembrandt, Descartes, and many other notable people of his time. In this book, Peter Davidson and Adriaan van der Weel offer a broad selection of Huygens's poems and provide excellent translations for those written in Dutch, Latin, and a number of other languages revealing both Huygens literary talent and his remarkable linguistic range.

Lezer van poëzie, lezer van mystiek: Hans Groenewegen was beide, geestdriftig en bedachtzaam. Lezen op het snijpunt van poëzie en mystiek was zijn hartstocht, verwantschappen traceren in woorden en intenties bijna een existentiële drijfveer. En dan: tegen de keer denken, door te botsen nieuwe woorden, nieuwe betekenissen vrij te leggen. In De lezer brengt Hans Groenewegen de woorden en de werkelijkheid bijeen van mystici als Hadewijch, Margarete van Porete, Jan van Ruusbroec, Meister Eckhart en dichters als Lucebert, H.H. ter Balkt, Nachoem Wijnberg, Kees Ouwens. In zijn beschouwingen zoekt en proeft Groenewegen de woorden in de mystieke poëzie en de dichterlijke mystiek, die de hoogste en diepste punten van de ervaring weergeven. In het essay reikt de schrijver bij voortduring en herhaaldelijk naar het onmogelijke, de woorden van de dichter, de mysticus opnieuw te ervaren, opnieuw tot leven te brengen in de lezer die hij ook is. In de lezer voor wie hij schrijft. In 2013 is Hans Groenewegen overleden. Voor zijn bestendig, kritisch en toegewijd beschouwelijk werk is hij in 2012 geëerd met de Pierre Bayle prijs voor poëziekritiek.
