born near the sea as descent of an old seafaring family. turned down by nautical college as being weak in the green/blue coloursection of my eyes. turned into a poet and later moved into
advertising as copywriter/copydirector/creative
director (in that order) because
poems hardly ever deliver hard cash (smile). now retired and living in a small fisherman's
hamlet close to the belgian border and nestling in the dunes
that line the banks of the seagoing river scheldt.
