The Radio Room Of S.S. Thedens eBook

The Radio Room of S.S. Thedens and Other Poems is Harry G. de Vries's first collection of poetry in English. Bringing together more than one hundred original poems, it explores themes including family, friendship, home, history, art, faith, nature and memory. Moving between personal experience, imagined voices and moments of everyday observation, the collection ranges from Dutch landscapes and wartime recollections to art, travel, music and the lives of ordinary people. Throughout, the poems explore how attention, memory and imagination shape our understanding of the world and of one another. Harry G. de Vries (1961) is a Dutch poet, translator and novelist. He translated selected poems by Philip Larkin into Dutch for Wagner & Van Santen, as well as Middle English poetry into both rhymed Dutch (Het Regiusgedicht, FAMA) and rhymed modern English (The Regius Poem, Lewis Masonic, United Kingdom). He is also the author of the novel Het Horloge van Celis (Celis' Watch) (GiST).
