Pieter Boskma (b. 1956), a Frisian by birth, studied various languages, East Asian art history and anthropology between 1977 and 1984. He made his début in 1984 with the privately published collection Virus, virus and at the end of the 1980s joined the Maximums, a group of poets calling for more action in poetry. Since then he has written stories, novellas and over ten collections of poetry.
