Literaire Klanken in de Toonzaal op 8 december met Kees van Kooten, Polare Den Bosch verzorgt de boekenstand.
Kees van Kooten raakte enkele jaren geleden in de ban van de humoristische dichter Billy Collins (New York, 1941). Hij vertaalde Collins’ gedichten en bundelde ze in het boek Zo Wordt U Gelukkig. Een selectie uit deze bundel staat centraal tijdens het poëzieconcert Zo Wordt U Gelukkig. Van Kooten neemt op film plaats in zijn leesstoel en draagt op virtuoze wijze een aantal gedichten voor. Zijn voordracht wordt afgewisseld met de uitvoering van het gedicht als lied, gecomponeerd door Martin Fondse. Samen met harpist Remy van Kesteren en sopraan Claron McFadden voert hij deze nieuwe muziek uit. In beeldfragmenten spreekt Remy met Van Kooten over de kunst van het vertalen en de kracht van de verbeelding. (SimoneA)… (mer)

Beloved two-term Poet Laureate Billy Collins is coming to Tampa on December 4! His new book of poetry, Aimless Love, combines more than fifty new poems with selections from four previous books—Nine Horses, The Trouble with Poetry, Ballistics, and Horoscopes for the dead. This event will be held at the Straz Center- Stay tuned for information about ticketing. Envoy Go, little book, out of this house and into the world, carriage made of paper rolling toward town bearing a single passenger beyond the reach of this jittery pen and far from the desk and the nosy gooseneck lamp. It is time to decamp, put on a jacket and venture outside, time to be regarded by other eyes, bound to be held in foreign hands. So off you go, infants of the brain, with a wave and some bits of fatherly advice: stay out as late as you like, don’t bother to call or write, and talk to as many strangers as you can.
