About This Book
This edition of Awater features three English translations, made at different periods, for comparison. As well as the Dutch text, it includes excerpts from a lecture by the poet on Awater's origins ; an essay on the first translation of the poem by Daan van der Vat and an essay by the most recent translator, David Colmer. It concludes with an essay by the leading Nijhoff specialist, Wiljan van den Akker, which illuminates key elements of the poem in the context of modernism.
