You have to do something with it.
I hear that more often when people talk to me on what I write on my Facebook page. Those are pieces that hit people. Pieces in which people feel addressed, in which people feel involved in what I write. And recognizing things of themselves in. But what am I supposed to do with that? On my page I write about my feelings, I write about personal things, about things I experience. Actually, about everything that's going on in my life. And yes, my depression is also discussed with some regularity.
Walk for sale with myself?
Sometimes it feels like people want me to walk for sale with myself. But that's something that doesn't suit me. Or maybe in part, too. Otherwise I wouldn't have released two poems already. Two bundles I'm still very proud of. A dream I once had to release my work in a booklet. And that dream came true twice. But I also have enough poems for a third and even a fourth bundle. Although my poems deal with many different topics. From animals to nature, from being a lesbian and motherhood to poems about my depression and the dark period of my life. But also airy poems that allow people to get a smile on their face. And yet I don't think everything is good enough to publish in a bundle.
Where are they to get?
My #gedichtenbundels can be obtained through the publisher's website. They work with a so-called “print on demand” system which means that when you order a bundle, an order goes to the printer to print a bundle. If you are curious about my bundles, I will place the links to the bundle pages here so you can take a look there without obligation. And of course I would like it if bundles were ordered, but I leave that up to you.
