Mark Boog

Mark Boog was awarded the 2000 C. Buddingh’ Prize for new Dutch-language poetry for his debut collection Alsof er iets gebeurt (As if Something is Happening). He has since been publishing at high speed, certainly for a poet who boasts about his strong penchant for idleness: three novels and three new volumes of poetry, the latest of which, De encyclopedie van de grote woorden (The Encyclopaedia of Big Words) won the prestigious VSB Poetry Prize in 2006.
