2. Verzamelde Gedichten
Een ingetogen bundel die via precieze, heldere beelden en eenvoudige taal persoonlijke existentiële bespiegelingen, natuurwaarnemingen en het zoeken naar innerlijke rust verkent. De gedichten combineren kinderlijke verwondering met scherpe psychologische observaties, verlangen en melancholie, en tonen hoe momenten van stilte, verlies en verandering de menselijke identiteit vormen. De toon is sober en puur, met tijdloze reflecties op eenzaamheid, vergankelijkheid en verbondenheid met de natuurlijke wereld.
