Description

Quinten De Coene (born 1993) was raised in a small town called

Zottegem. A small town nearby Ghent, Belgium. The youngest of 3

children, he became fascinated by painting and drawing. This

influence is often noticed in his poems.

Writing had always been a side activity in the many drawings and

sketchbooks he carried with him on the road. Little lines and thoughts

accompany the drawings seen in his work. They stand alone or as

explanatory notes on the sketches, but were never considered by De

Coene as drafts to be completed. It wasn’t until some of his friends

read these rough and unfinished poems that he started working them

out into finished works.

This has resulted in the publicity of two books of poetry in Dutch, now

followed by an English Translation: "Burning in the waiting line''.
