News Item: Folio, Six Dutch Poets
Between the 12th and the 22nd of April, five Dutch poets—John Schoorl, Joost Zwagerman, Hélène Gelèns, Erik Jan Harmens, and Lucas Hirsch—participated in the “New York to Pittsburgh and Back Dutch Poetry Tour,” which was organized by Hirsch and his poetrypromoting organization Small Revolution Productions, based in Haarlem, and supported by the Dutch Foundation for Literature. (The sixth poet included here and originally scheduled to participate, Pieter Boskma, had to bow out of the tour at the last minute.) During their ten days in the U.S., this eclectic group of poets read at Columbia University, Poets House, City of Asylum in Pittsburgh, The Netherland Club in New York City, and Ledig House in Omni, New York. What follows is a very small sample of their work—and thus of contemporary Dutch poetry—from Pieter Boskma, whose first book appeared in 1987, to Lucas Hirsch, whose first book was published in 2006.(Click link to read more)

News Item: A Dutch Take on a Cultural Icon
Last year the Royal Opera House, in Covent Garden in London, turned a real-life soap-opera tale into an actual opera and won a measure of hearty, if not unanimous, critical praise with “Anna Nicole,” the story of a blonde bombshell who met an untimely death by drug overdose. Now the Netherlands Opera has followed suit with “Waiting for Miss Monroe,” though for its choice of subject — Marilyn Monroe — it moved several steps higher on the celebrity ladder.

News Item: Michel van der Aa, ICE offer emotion and drama
If you thought that all music was about melody, rhythm and harmony, Dutch composer Michel van der Aa could broaden your vision. His is all gesture, emotion and drama, and the four members of the International Contemporary Ensemble who were with him at the Phillips Collection on Thursday for another in the museum’s Leading European Composers series gave a convincing argument for the power of his musical ideas.
