De E. du Perronprijs 2019 is toegekend aan Ellen Deckwitz voor haar bundel Hogere Natuurkunde (Uitgeverij Pluim).
De jury bekroont een fascinerende en onheilspellende dichtbundel, waarin verschillende genres, stemmen en stemmingen met elkaar worden verweven. De andere genomineerden waren Stephan Enter (Pastorale) en Asha Karami (Godface).
Aan het woord is een kleindochter die de stem van haar grootmoeder laat klinken en haar oorlogservaringen in Nederlands-Indië onder woorden probeert te brengen.
Het levensverhaal wordt alleen in flarden verteld. Deckwitz’ verhalende poëzie laat zien hoe families getekend worden door een land van herkomst dat werd verwoest. Het leed en de veerkracht, ingewikkeld met elkaar verbonden, blijven bestaan in elkaar opvolgende generaties. Dit is een bundel die in een tijd van mondiale crisis troost en relativering biedt.
De prijs bestaat uit een geldbedrag van 2500 euro en een textielobject, ontworpen door studio ‘by aaaa’ (Moyra Besjes en Natasja Lauwers) en vervaardigd bij het TextielMuseum in Tilburg.
De uitreiking is uitgesteld naar het najaar en vindt plaats op 15 oktober 2020, aanvang 20.00 uur in de LocHal aan de Burgemeester Brokxlaan 1000 in Tilburg. Voorafgaand aan de uitreiking houdt Maxim Februari, winnaar van de P.C. Hooft-prijs 2020, de negende E. du Perronlezing met als titel ‘E. du Perron en de pseudo-identiteiten’.
De E. du Perronprijs is een initiatief van de Gemeente Tilburg, de Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences van Tilburg University en Kunstloc Brabant. Vorig jaar won Jan Leyers de prijs voor zijn boek Allah in Europa. Eerdere laureaten waren onder meer Margot Vanderstraeten (2017), Stefan Hertmans (2016) en Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer (2015).

Lilas
Ce n’est pas seulement l’annonce printanière
en cette terre où l’arbre a toujours sa verdure
et dédie à l’amour fleuri de la lumière
sa cime qui résiste à la grande froidure,
ni l’union au bleu rose des crépuscules
du mauve parfumé qui jaillit de ta sève,
que m’apportent, ce soir, tes primes panicules,
ô lilas où la nuit fait retentir son rêve !
Plus encor, la saison ranime en ma mémoire
les plaisirs que j’avais sous ta frondaison noire
à deviser avec mes amis en-allés !
Et suscitée, hélas ! par ta seule venue,
ma jeunesse surgit, découronnée et nue,
de ton ombre où j’entends quels appels désolés !
Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo

A timely and passionate call to action for engaging with our current political moment, from the Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum singer-songwriter and New York Times bestselling author Tori Amos.
Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. From her unnerving depiction of sexual assault in “Me and a Gun” to her post-September 11 album, Scarlet’s Walk, to her latest album, Native Invader, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political.
Amos began playing piano as a teenager for the politically powerful at hotel bars in Washington, DC, during the formative years of the post-Goldwater and then Koch-led Libertarian and Reaganite movements. The story continues to her time as a hungry artist in Los Angeles to the subsequent three decades of her formidable music career. Amos explains how she managed to create meaningful, politically resonant work against patriarchal power structures–and how her proud declarations of feminism and her fight for the marginalized always proved to be her guiding light. She teaches us to engage with intention in this tumultuous global climate and speaks directly to supporters of #MeToo and #TimesUp, as well as young people fighting for their rights and visibility in the world.
Filled with compassionate guidance and actionable advice–and using some of the most powerful, political songs in Amos’s canon–this book is for anyone determined to steer the world back in the right direction.
Tori Amos is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, pianist, composer, and, with Ann Powers, the New York Times bestselling author of Tori Amos: Piece by Piece. She has released fifteen studio albums, including her latest, Native Invader, in 2017.

Even the gulls of the cool Atlantic
Even the gulls of the cool Atlantic retip the silver foam,
The boats that warn me of the fog warn me of their motion
I have looked for my childhood among pebbles my home
Within the lean cupboards of motherhubbard and clipped Albion
A wind whose freshness blows over the Cape to me
Has made me laugh at the memory of a friend whose hair is blond
Still we laugh and run our hands over the sea
From the farthest tip of land to the end of the end.
I had so often run down to these shores to stare out
If I took an island for a lover and Atlantic for my sheet
There was no one to tell me that loving across distance would turn about
And make the here and now an elsewhere of defeat.
In my twenty first year to have the grubby hand of a slums
Be the small child at my knee knee the glistening chalk
That sails to meet the stationary boat the water sloping as it comes
And all the Devon coast of grey and abrupt rock
By gazing across water I have flicked many gulls from my eyes
Shuffled small shells and green crabs at my feet
The day is cool the sun bright the piper cries
Shrilly tampering the untouched sand with delicate conceit.
Up beyond the height and over the bank I have a friend
How are your winter days and summer actions
There could be little more than a tea cup hour to make us comprehend
A mature man’s simplicity or grave child’s sweet reaction.

Geheim
Verbazingwekkend scherp gelijke tred
met de herinnering. Halsstarrig bedenken
van ballades omtrent niets. Opgestaan
zijn wij uit een lege slaap, en we eten nu
brood aan langzame, langzame tafels.
Prevel maar voor een gesloten gordijn.
Traagheid is immers van geluk het geheim.

In ‘Zij namen het woord’ schetst Margot Dijkgraaf de portretten van uitzonderlijke, schrijvende Franse vrouwen uit de 17e tot de 21e eeuw.
Ze schrijven, ze spreken, ze gaan de barricaden op, ze doorbreken taboes, ze verleggen grenzen. En ze bieden inspiratie – door hun boeken, hun denkbeelden, hun daden of hun karakter.
De vrouwen in dit boek heten Colette of Françoise Sagan, George Sand of Simone de Beauvoir, Madame de Staël of Maryse Condé.
De een is grondlegger van de Europese literatuur, de volgende vecht voor de positie van de vrouw als schrijfster, weer een ander richt haar pijlen op onrechtvaardigheid en ongelijkheid of eist voor de niet-westerse stem een plek op in de literatuur.
Allemaal zijn ze Franstalig, rebels, tegendraads. Schrijven is gevaarlijk.

A Requiem
For Soldiers lost in Ocean Transports
When, after storms that woodlands rue,
To valleys comes atoning dawn,
The robins blithe their orchard-sports renew;
And meadow-larks, no more withdrawn
Caroling fly in the languid blue;
The while, from many a hid recess,
Alert to partake the blessedness,
The pouring mites their airy dance pursue.
So, after ocean’s ghastly gales,
When laughing light of hoyden morning
breaks,
Every finny hider wakes–
From vaults profound swims up with
glittering scales;
Through the delightsome sea he sails,
With shoals of shining tiny things
Frolic on every wave that flings
Against the prow its showery spray;
All creatures joying in the morn,
Save them forever from joyance torn,
Whose bark was lost where now the
dolphins play;
Save them that by the fabled shore,
Down the pale stream are washed away,
Far to the reef of bones are borne;
And never revisits them the light,
Nor sight of long-sought land and pilot more;
Nor heed they now the lone bird’s flight
Round the lone spar where mid-sea surges
pour.
Herman Melville
(1819 – 1891)

Nightfall
The times are nightfall, look, their light grows less;
The times are winter, watch, a world undone:
They waste, they wither worse; they as they run
Or bring more or more blazon man’s distress.
And I not help. Nor word now of success:
All is from wreck, here, there, to rescue one –
Work which to see scarce so much as begun
Makes welcome death, does dear forgetfulness.
Or what is else? There is your world within.
There rid the dragons, root out there the sin.
Your will is law in that small commonweal . . .

(1844 – 1889)

De eer.
t Is een
kanon.
‘t Is een
geweer….
Men schiet.
Men moordt:
Maar ‘t is
voor d’eer!
Men steekt
elkaar
een mes
in ‘t hart,
En zie
zoo’n daad
is wit,
niet zwart.
Want ‘t is
voor d’eer!
Men steelt.
Men brandt.
En zie
‘t is goed,
want ‘t is
voor ‘t land!
Vervloekt
die eer!
Vervloekt
dat land!
Vervloekt
de mensch!
Vervloekt
de hand,
die grijpt
naar ‘t zwaard,
die grijpt
naar d’eer,
die grijpt
in bloed.
Steeds meer.
Steeds weer.
Weg met
die eer!
Z’is voos!
Z’is rot!
Wat maakt
zij van
den mensch?
Een zot!

Last Will
My will is easy to decide,
For there is nothing to divide.
My kind don’t need to fuss and moan —
“Moss does not cling to a rolling stone.”
My body? Ah, If I could choose,
I would to ashes it reduce,
And let the merry breezes blow
My dust to where some flowers grow.
Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again.
This is my last and final will.
Good luck to all of you.
Joe Hill
(1879-1915)
Last Will
Written in his cell on the eve of his execution
Joe Hill was sentenced to death after being accused of the murder of two shopkeepers. His conviction is often disputed by historians. On November 18, 1915, one day before his execution, he wrote his last will. On that same day, he sent a telegram to fellow IWW member Bill Haywood, telling him: “Don’t waste time mourning – Organize!”
