POET OF THE DAY

Eddy van Vliet, who in daily life was a practising lawyer, was also someone for whom poetry was a vital part of existence. Only at one moment did the two worlds literally meet. In 1994 he published the passionate essay Poëzie: een pleidooi (Poetry: the Case for the Defence), the text of address he had given back in 1976 to the annual Conference of the Antwerp Bar. It reveals something of the tension between the demands of reality and the world of the dream, the exact field in which Van Vliet’s poetry operates.

In the courtyard where the cooing of pigeons was all too easily predictable, I heard a singing, which, freeing itself from the whining sleet around us,

Death. Don't be afraid. Do not dither before my door. Come on in. Read my books. You are part of nine out of ten. I know about you.

Father. Undress yourself. While you still may. Show me what time has scarred since we sat in the bath together and I proved that waterdrops want to touch one another.
