Four Days In May
www.14mei.nl
Since 2015 we organise each year at May 14 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands a poetry commemoration along the Brandgrens (Fire Boundary) of Rotterdam to remember the casualties of the Nazi-Germany bombardement of Rotterdam at May 14, 1940. In 2024 we organise it for the first time also abroad and we renamed it into Four Days In May. The first day will be in Rome at May 11, the second day will be in Paris at May 12 and the third and fourth day will be in Rotterdam at May 13 and 14.

In 2025, I will organise for the first time a Sport & Literature Festival and each year I want to make this festival a little bit bigger. In 2028 during the Los Angeles – Summer Games 2028 I want to have a daily sport and literature show.
Poetry Downtown Festival (September 25-29)

Since 2021 I organise each year the Poetry Downtown Festival. In 2021 we honored Kenneth Patchen, in 2022 Charles Bukowski, 2023 Sylvia Plath and in 2024 Edgar Allan Poe. We decided to boycot America this year and that’s why the 2025 edition and it’s annual Poetry Train is cancelled.
