An English Anthology

By Leonard Nolens

A powerful anthology exploring national identity and political disillusionment through the lens of European lyricism.

English Anthology presents a selection of poems by Leonard Nolens, capturing a mood of political and social disillusionment amid a generation of Dutch-speaking Belgians. Throughout this collection, Nolens engages with questions of national identity and artistic commitment, speaking as and for a generation of Flemings.

Haunted by giants of twentieth-century European lyricism such as Rilke, Val ry, and Celan, Nolens's poetry delves into personal and collective history, love and loss, and the complexities of translation. This anthology offers a profound exploration of the human condition within a specific cultural and historical context.
