I wrote the "The Walk: Zevenbergschen-Hoek, Netherlands" forty years ago based on an experience I had as student on a homestay in Netherlands. I spent a week with a family in a small village, shared a room with their daughters who were teenagers as well. I revisited this poem in 2016, edited it a bit, but used my maiden name on it to acknowledge that it was written by my earlier self. The Voices Project published it in May of 2016.
Follow, share, email. I'd love to hear from you!
