Bart Meuleman (1965) is a playwright, an essay writer on subjects such as politics and pop music and, together with illustrator Paul Verrept, writes children’s book about his alter ego ‘Mister Retch’ (Meneertje Kokhals). Above all, though, Meuleman is a poet. His debut kleine criminaliteit (petty crime, 1997) already hints at the menace and ambiguity that was to pervade his second volume hulp (help, 2004). This latter volume was nominated for the prestigious VSB poetry prize for single volumes and awarded the Charlotte Köhler bursary.
