Publications

Writing is one of the things that gets me going.
I don’t post daily poems on my weblog SannQ / Van Die Dingen (which was nominated for ‘Best Weblog Literature’ by Dutch Bloggies in 2008) anymore, but every once in a while I do like to write: pieces, articles, columns, or reviews…

…Like the pieces that I wrote on both the magic and importance of cinema.
Read my opinion piece that was published by the Dutch newspaper Het Parool.
Read my extended column “Ode to the Cinema”  that was posted by 8Weekly.nl

…And a review of one of my favorite films with an odd couple (like To Catch A Fly)…The Nice Guys.

…Or like my opinion piece (that was published in the Dutch newspaper Het Parool) on why we should stop using terms like ‘power woman / strong woman’. As well-intentioned as those terms might be, it is harmful. Women don’t need to acquire masculine qualities, such as “strong” in order to be successful. They are powerful enough on their own. They don’t need an adjective. Instead, let’s pay more attention to female role models. ‘Cause, we can never have enough of those!

…And you can also read my review of a series I was impressed by  Mare of Easttown.
