Synopsis

A BILINGUAL EDITION, with Dutch and English on facing pages

Lucebert (pseudonym of Lubertus Jacobus Swaanswijk, 1924–1994) lived in Amsterdam and later in Bergen, a coastal town in the Netherlands then popular with artists.

The experimental and enigmatic quality of his verse made him a sensation in the early 1950s. He was instantly embraced by the avant-garde movements CoBrA and The Fiftiers, but eyed with suspicion by the Dutch establishment. Today, he is acknowledged as an important voice within the literary canon, and his prolific legacy extends to thousands of paintings and drawings.

The Collected Poems: Volume 1 includes his books Triangle in the Jungle (1951), The Animals of Democracy (1951), Apocryphal (1952), The Inalphabetic Name (1952), The Depicted Name (1952), The Amsterdam School (1952), and Unpublished Poems (1949–52).
