Anne Vegter’s poetry has often been called surrealistic and dreamlike, and disturbing in equal measure.
Jan Baeke
Vegter writes daring, personal poetry that sometimes teases language to the limit. One time her poems may consist of complex chess configurations, whereas at other times the poet can be trite, incoherent or even vulgar. It all contributes to the stimulating, grating feeling that someone is getting too close to you.
