Jan Theuninck Quotes

“I do consider my engaged poetry as a personal mission, a duty towards a society which evolves into a system of control of consciences: one even becomes a suspect for not thinking correctly!”

Jan Theuninck

Je considère la poésie engagée comme une mission personnelle, un devoir envers une société où on évolue vers un contrôle des consciences : on devient même suspect de ne pas penser correctement ! <br class="br">As quoted in Letteratour (29 November 2004) http://www.letteratour.it/interviste/H02theunJ01.htm

“Those things are inextricable bound up in my mind, with words I make an image and vice versa.”

Jan Theuninck
