The Power of Memory: writing as stillness and reflection

In today’s fast-paced world, writing offers a moment of stillness and introspection. My poetry collection, Groeten uit Ypenburg, reflects on the tranquility I’ve found in the Ypenburg neighborhood, encouraging readers to pause, reflect, and shape their own memories. Writing about the past not only honors our history but also brings clarity to the present, allowing us to better understand our fears, desires, and relationships. It offers a unique opportunity for self-exploration and deep connection with the world around us.
