For Versopolis, the online platform, I recently translated four poems into English by spoken-word artist Babs Gons, who is also our current Poet Laureate, until September 2025!
Read the four poems here. I translated the following poems:
- if you don’t have a dream (als je geen droom hebt)
- would you like to be black this Wednesday? (zou je woensdag zwart willen zijn?)
- you could be anywhere, you could be anyone (je kan overal zijn, je kan iedereen zijn)
- do it anyway (doe het toch maar)
