This year was in many aspects a special year. On January 6, 2017, the President of ICEVI-Europe, Panagiota Leotsakou, for everyone Betty, sadly and untimely passed away after a brief illness. This means for the board, especially for the Vice -President, additional efforts to the forthcoming European conference. The 9th ICEVI-European Conference went well. We can look back to a successful conference in Bruges, Belgium. The Opening Ceremony Speech by Mr. Herman Van Rompuy, President Emeritus of the European Council, as well as, the presentations of the Keynote Speakers, Prof. dr. Claudia Claes, Prof. dr. Bea Maes, Mrs. Kristen Layton, Dr. Elke Wagner, and Mr. Peter Verstraten were inspiring, thought-provoking and qualitatively good. In general, all the contributions were of a high level. The conference was well organized and well-received by participants. It was somewhat disappointing that the number of participants was less than expected. The reason for this was the fact that more international conferences took place in the same period. In the General Assembly, the elections/re-elections of the new Board of ICEVI- Europe took place.

  • Guido Gezelle
    POEMS OF GUIDO GEZELLE GUIDO OF POEMS EDITED BY PAUL VINCENT he Bruges-born poet-priest Guido Gezelle (1830–1899) is generally T considered one of the masters of nineteenth-century European lyric poetry. At the end of his life and in the first two decades of the twentieth century, Gezelle was hailed by the avant-garde as the founder of modern Flemish poetry. His unique voice was belatedly recognised in the Netherlands and often compared with his English contemporary Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889). In this bilingual anthology, award-winning translator Paul Vincent selects a representative picture of Gezelle’s output, from devotional through narrative, to celebratory and expressionistic. Gezelle’s favourite themes are POEMS childhood, the Flemish landscape, friendship, nature, religion and the Flemish vernacular, and his apparently simple poems conceal a sophisticated prosody and a dialogue with spiritual and literary tradition. However, an important barrier to wider international recognition of his lyric genius up to now has been the absence of translations that do justice to the vigour and musicality of Gezelle’s West Flemish idiom. Two of the OF translations included here go some way to redressing the balance: ‘The Watter-Scriever’ by Scotland’s national poet Edwin Morgan and ‘A Little ANTHOLOGY A BILINGU Leaf . .’ by Francis Jones. Both translators make brilliant use of their own vernaculars (Glaswegian and North Yorkshire respectively) to bring Gezelle to life for the non-Dutch-speaking reader. A L GUIDO PAUL VINCENT is Honorary Senior Lecturer in Dutch at UCL. He became PAUL VINCENT PAUL EDITED BY a full-time translator in 1989, after teaching Dutch at the University of London for over twenty years.
