Melbourne bi-lingual poet jeltje was swept up in the general accolade for The Sun and she was delighted to be able to translate and present the complete version of this remarkable work for release in Australia.
The Sun and the world comes in two parts. On the original, The Sun was read by the poet himself and his
friend and author Kees 't Hart to a live audience for national broadcast on VPRO Dutch Radio.
It is suggested that the reader listens to the CD first.
