Met: Arno van Vlierberghe & Susinukke Kosola
Wat gebeurt er als je twee boeiende dichters met elkaar in contact brengt en hen elkaar laat ontdekken via een zomerse poëtische correspondentie? Het resultaat zal voor het eerst te horen zijn tijdens deze Poetry Walks!
Ontdek in dit programma 4 boeiende dichters uit het prestigieuze Europese Versopolisnetwerk.
Poëziecentrum koppelde een Finse en een Georgische dichter telkens met een Vlaamse dichter. Als een soort van ‘poetic penfriends’ gingen ze tijdens de zomer met elkaar corresponderen op zoek naar bijzondere parallellen of tegenstellingen en spannende thema’s in elkaars werk. Actie leidt tot reactie en opnieuw actie.
Het eerste dichtersduo is Susinukke Kosola (Finland) en Arno Van Vlierberghe (België). Arno beloofde het neofascime een nekschot toe te dienen in Brussel. En Susinukke liet alvast weten: Looking forward to acting, reacting and fucking shit up in poetic ways with you!
ONZE GASTEN:
ARNO VAN VLIERBERGHE (BE)

Arno Van Vlierberghe (1990) was born and raised in Brussels, but lives, writes and works in Ghent. In 2017 he published his first book of poetry, a collection of five long-form texts called Vloekschrift, which was nominated for the C. Buddingh’ Prize for best poetry debut. The Flemish critic Paul Demets noted that “few poets make their poetry debut with so little respect for the sacrosanctity of poetry as Arno Van Vlierberghe. His Vloekschrift is a manifesto against status-quo society and against all poetry that plays it safe.” His academic studies in contemporary Dutch and English literature firmly rooted him in several Belgian lineages of experimental writing. Shocked by the tragic death of the young American writer and activist Mark Baumer (1983 - 2017), fatally struck by a car during his attempt to cross the U.S. on his bare feet, Van Vlierberghe started writing his second book of poetry. Taking five years to complete, the project resulted in the book-length poem Ex Daemon (2022), which was nominated for the J.C. Bloem prize for the best second book of poetry.
