Message:Currently I am dedicating myself to the translation of Catalan poetry written by women into Dutch. Last October I published a bilingual anthology titled 'Rebellie / Rebeŀlió' with poems of six contemporary women poets.
As the benefits of... this kind of translation are not great, I keep earning my daily living with the (sworn) translation of legal and commercial texts. Translating poetry is for my spare time, for now.
