Now considered the "grand old man of Dutch poetry," this author is celebrated for his mastery of language. His early work, influenced by social and political themes, evolved towards autonomous poetry focused on language itself. He was associated with experimental art movements, contributing to a unique fusion of poetry and visual art. Kouwenaar's writing champions a self-sufficient poetics, where the language speaks for itself, earning him widespread acclaim and translation.
