Eyewear: Featured Poet: Sylvie Marie

'Eyewear is very glad to welcome, this ice-cold London Friday, Sylvie Marie (pictured above) born in Belgium in 1984. She has published poetry in several magazines and anthologies. Her first collection of poetry Zonder (which means Without) was published in 2009 and was received with great praise by the Dutch press."this may be the most remarkable poetry debut of the recent years", one critic said. Marie is also editor of the Dutch literary magazines Meander and Deus Ex Machina. She writes a poem every week for the widespread Flemish magazine Humo. I met her in October at the Maastricht International Poetry Nights, where we were both guest readers. The poem below was translated into English by Zoran Ancevski with the poet.'
