Not a day without love: one hundred years of Dutch love poetry from North and South

'It is not and never enough.'
Under this motto of Remco Campert, Eddy van Vliet collected 365 poems about love in all its facets. From infatuation to indifference, from passion to hate, from Eros to Thanatos and the many intermediate stages that fall under the heading of love.
Defining love is impossible. The thousands of poems dedicated to it all attempt it. Each one fails in its attempt. Together they succeed in describing love in its totality, in fathoming its essence.
In anticipation of what Homero Aridjis once called the 'thousand-year reign of love', 'No Day Without Love' offers a selection from the past hundred years of Dutch-language love poetry.
Not a day without love, and not a day without a love poem.
