Poeziebar
Poeziebar
At the Poeziebar, Joep Hendrikx and Jos Nargy invite several poets with the aim: sold -out, steaming and shouting halls for poetry! Because the world can use some rock & roll & poetry again. Come and visit our bar and enjoy a sexy portion of poetry, with music from Nick Feenstra.
Inspired by Simon Vinkenoog
In 1966, at the invitation of Simon Vinkenoog all kinds of poets met in Carré. Their meal: half a chicken and a joint. These poets, including a debuting Jules Deelder, Johnny The Selfkicker and Vinkenoog himself, performed for a steaming, shouting and stiffly sold -out Carré. Why was that possible and now not? Inspiration for Jos Nargy and Joep Hendrikx to organize the poetry bar!
