THE GARLAND OF THE DUNES

Large painted envelope
A tribute to the Belgian poet EMILE VERHAEREN,
who wrote in French but who is the most Flemish of all poets in Belgium
La guirlande des dunes (1907) is part of one of his major body of works: TOUTE LA FLANDRE
(The whole of Flanders)
Stunning to read again and again and again in the presetnt Belgian context

Mailed to Jo Hubert, Belgium

LES AILES ROUGES DE LA GUERRE

Small painted envelope, inspired by the poetry collection THE RED WINGS OF WAR by Emile Verhaeren.
This book was dedicated to Maurice Maeterlinck, writer of the Blue Bird.
Mailed to Niklas Heed in Sweden.

BUT THE RIVER was dead, from ANTWERP to the sea

Small painted envelope I mailed to Stefano Fossiant Sini in Italy,
around fragment of poetry by EMILE VERHAEREN from his collection TOUTE LA FLANDRE.
Verhaeren is a French Belgian poet but he caught the essence of Flanders like no other Flemish writer has done.
