Poetry as mental food for our souls, but also as a source of inspiration for artists. The poem `Indian Summer´of the Dutch poet Lucebert has been an inspiration for this project. The project consists of:

The exhibition shows us original artworks of 22 visual artists from home and abroad:

The exhibition will officially be opened at the 28th of January 2012 together with the event `Eve of Poetry´. Joost Verhoeff will then present the following six poets:
Mohammed Abu Leil, Sieger Baljon, David Boelee, Julien Holtrigter, Peter Knipmeijer and Coen Peppelenbos.
World Art Delft wants to bring beauty of language and visual art near to youngsters. Teachers will get instruction material as a manual in which suggestions for teaching poetry and visual art have been incorporated. Youngsters could also admire and discover the exhibition of `Indian Summer´ from Lucebert.
The Poem
INDIAN SUMMER
I have laid my weapons in the grass
and my weapons smell like grass
I have laid my body in the grass
my body smells like wood bitter and sweet
this lying this tiny fluffy lying
as a yellowed photograph lying in water
shiny curled on the waves
or near the wood dusty of body and shadow
oh great breath don’t let the stones stand up
don’t harden their cheeks their eyes
smaller and more bespectacled and grey
let the lovers lie still land quiet
black between their silver ears and ah
let the girls still arrange their feathers and smile
