100 Dutch-Language Poems – from the Medieval Period to the Present Day
Anthology
Translated from Dutch by John Irons, Paul Vincent
100 Dutch-Language Poems – from the Medieval Period to the Present Day is an anthology of Dutch-language poetry, translated and/or selected by John Irons, Paul Vincent, published by Holland Park Press in 2015. The anthology spans a long Dutch-language tradition, making the page feel less like a single national shelf than a centuries-long conversation across the Low Countries. The book matters because anthologies are one of the great technologies of literary hospitality. They gather voices, preserve accidents, and let a reader sense the breadth of a tradition before pretending to understand it. That breadth is the real invitation here. The book gives permission to wander, compare, misrecognize, return, and let one poem open the door to another.
