In de gloria

Sommige spiegels geven een onverwacht zelfbeeld

Op vrijdag 11 september verschijnt het nieuwe boek In de gloria – Ongerijmde raadselachtigheden van Janne Buurman. Sommige spiegels geven een onverwacht zelfbeeld: het spiegeltje aan de wand, maar ook een berichtje in de krant kan je anders naar jezelf en de wereld laten kijken. In deze bundel speelt Janne Buurman met taal, beeld en verwondering. Deze gedichtenbundel wordt uitgegeven door Uitgeverij Boekscout.
