Journal of a poet who walks
My first zine with not poetry but poetic prose.
There is a long tradition between walks and writing resp. walking and writers (and artists, thinkers...).
Me, too, I love walks and walking and when I'm walking I'm not just walking but traveling - with all my senses involved.
This zine is a collection of short poetic prose and observations that came to me during or inspired by my walks.

THE BLUE BOOK
THE BLUE BOOK is a verbal and
visual journey of memory, dream,
senses, of water, feeling, spirit.
In a way it's also a songbook.
It contains music, not only within
the words and images but also
between the lines; the music of
space vibrating. Waves of sound.
This publication is an ode to the
element of water, to the feminine,
to sensuality and after all also to
poetry.
~~
Sometimes the images are poems,
sometimes the poems are images.
It's just as fluid as water itself.
