F. van Dixhoorn's Collected Works is made up of sequences and series in which short colloquial phrases make surprising, sometimes puzzling, connections inside strict 16-line grids. Different counting mechanisms in each series create a cadence that orders a multitude of disparate data and places them in a new field of tension: observations, memories, reflections, impressions, and current events. The poems depict in an extraordinary way what can go on the poet's mind on any given day: consciously, semi-consciously and unconsciously. Poetry, in short, as an art form. Poetry, in short, which creates and obeys only its own laws.
