About me:

Serge van Duijnhoven (born 1970 in Oss, in the south of the Netherlands) is a performing poet, novelist, playwright and art-editor. He is the author of several books of fiction and non-fiction. Among them four books of poems: The Palace of Sleep (1993), Copycat (1996), End of the Line: Phantom City (1997), Obiit in Orbit; at the other end of the night (1999), We Call them Roses (1999), Bloodtest (2003), The Summer that Still Had to Come (2007), Klipdrift (2007). All of these books are published in Dutch, by recognized publishing houses. In some of the books cd's are included. Since 1995 the author performs his poetry with electronic music and video-projections in his literary band 'Dichters Dansen Niet' (Poets Don't Dance), together with DJ Fred dB. Van Duijnhoven also wrote a minibiography on the late emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie (1993), and a monologue for theatre Songs of Vranje (2000) that was published at TeleXpress and played throughout the Rotterdam Cultural Capital of Europe 2001 events at Las Palmas. He was the winner of the Nova Makedonia Poetry Award at the Poetry Festival of Struga 1995, and the Initiator of MillenniuM; the periodical 'timebook' of the Art Group of the Lowlands. For the occasion of the Struga Poetry Evenings, Serge's poetry was translated into Macedonian by Suzana Dapcevka, and published by Detska Radost (Palatata da sonot, 1995). Photographers in Wartime (2002), a book with an extended essay and stirring photos from reknown ‘eyes of the war’ like Nachtwey, Tim Page a.o., appeared in 2002 both in English and Dutch within the Ludion-Beaux Arts collection in cooperation with the Flanders Fields World War I Museum in Ieper. In the summer of 2000 he participated in the Literaturexpress; a train with about one hundred European writers on board, representing fourtythree European countries.
