MOVING SPOTS (72 pages)

Moving Spots is the third English collection of poems by Hannie Rouweler (b. 1951, Goor, The Netherlands).
Several poems are translated by John Irons.

Many themes are involved: about her childhood, parents, love and loss, nature, the arts.
Some poems in this collection are dedicated to poets, and friends.

1 poem “No Period” you can read below – this poem is about a Dutch poet who doesn’t use full stops/periods at the end of all his poems.
In some poems a sense of humour is included, and often something different meant.

One of the remarks/scraps of reviews published in the back pages of Moving Spots:

"Among the various emerging voices in Dutch Poetry the voice of Hannie Rouweler is special for the sensible perception of a reality, transferring its concrete aspects to a fugitive and unexpected vision in a serene restlessness."
José L. Reina Palazón

NO PERIOD

He just doesn’t want to put a period
At the end. Does this mean
That all is open and unfinished?

He just doesn’t want to put a period
At the end of the poem.
While the poem is finished.
You turn the page, read the title,
And you start with another.

Also behind the other he just doesn’t
Put a period. Does this mean
That all is open and unfinished?

The poet starts with a capital
But doesn’t put a period behind the end lines.
The shape is from a sonnet, so
2 x 4 l. and 2 x 3 l., like Shakespeare,
I believe he always did put periods.

It is obvious to me that overall nowhere
There are full stops at the end of all pages.
I don’t make a point anymore about periods or commas.
Each poet definitely has his intentions with his periods.
