Description

Transeuropa is a series of wickedly funny poems by bestselling Dutch performance poet Jules Deelder about foibles, trouble and strife in Europe throughout the ages. Where else will you find poems about Goering's soft spot for rings in odd places, `The Ring der Tinglelungen', or mocking the practice of feeding Christians to tigers and lions in the Roman Empire, `Roman Humour', and a brutal poem full of black humour about neighbours killing each other, `In the Balkans'. Although Deelder occasionally uses rhyme, the most striking aspects of these poems are the superb use of rhythm and the poet's view of the world. Bold, often outspoken and full of feeling. An excellent choice for those who like to start reading poetry as well as seasoned poetry lovers.
