I was born January 4, 1958. I became interested in writing—but not just writing ’cause writing a book is only one story. I wanted to create or make new stories over and over. So I started writing poetry—not just a few lines, but in a way that nobody else does it, a whole page with a whole new story.

In a simple manner, it’s poetry for everybody, where one doesn’t need a dictionary to understand, feel and recognize what the poem is about. Wherever I was, I just started writing a few lines on a piece of paper or on a beer mat. Sometimes these lines came easy, sometimes it took me many weeks to complete a poem.
