ANDREA DAVIDSON STELT 'EGGENWISE' VOOR
Psst—bzzZZZZZzzZZ! Please join Andrea Davidson and De Groene Waterman for the launch of Eggenwise & other poems (The Emma Press)! It would be nice to celebrate Eggenwise (just published) here in Antwerp with you.
At this launch party there will be a reading and signing by Andrea Davidson and a chance to write your own poems inspired by Eggenwise.
About the book:
Can you feel homesick and at home at the same time? Ever felt lost for words but full of things to say? Meet Andrea Davidson.
Eggenwise explores the author's experience of moving to a different country (Belgium), learning a new language (Dutch), growing up and falling in love through poems that notice the remarkable in the everyday: a salted parsley sprig, thundering raindrops on windowpanes, and the buzzzZZZzzz of a pesky pet fly. An unusual collection of poems for older children grounded as a travelogue about finding yourself as a creative person and about how overwhelming it can be to be a person with feelings.
About the author:
Andrea Davidson is a Canadian researcher who moved to Belgium where she works as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the University of Antwerp. Her research focusses on children's literature and now she has written a collection of poems of her own.
