In Those Days

5/5 ( ratings)

In Those Days, the second book of Campert’s poetry to appear in the UK in recent years, reveals him as a major European poet. A leading figure in the Dutch ‘Fifties’ movement in poetry, he has continued to write with undiminished vitality. In these poems he treats serious matters – love, poetry, growing old and the final curtain – with a delicate, often ironic and understated touch. His material is everyday life – gallery openings, film premieres, street encounters and café scenes in Antwerp, Paris and Amsterdam. His columns, novels, poetry and many live readings have made him one of the Netherlands’ most loved writers. Donald Gardner’s selection gives a panorama of his poetry from the early 1950s to others which are very recent.
