Onherstelbaar verbeterd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Onherstelbaar verbeterd ('irreparably improved') is a slim volume of poetry by Dutch poet Gerrit Komrij. Published in 1981 by Amsterdam publisher C. J. Aarts, it contained five pastiches[1] of canonical Dutch (expressionist[2]) sonnets, and five original sonnets. The five pastiches are of poems by Gerrit Achterberg, J. C. Bloem, Willem Kloos, Hendrik Marsman, and Martinus Nijhoff.[3]
The third edition, published in 1994, added another pastiche of a J. C. Bloem poem, "De Dapperstraat", now remade as "De Kalverstraat".[4][5]
