When Nooteboom began writing poetry in the Netherlands in 1956, he was considered an outcast for not abiding by the conventional experimental style popular at the time. Instead, he took to learning from poets abroad, translating work by Wallace Stevens, Eugenio Montale, and Pablo Neruda. Nooteboom's work is lucid and mysterious, evocative and elusive. Light Everywhere is a collection of poems, selected by Cees Nooteboom himself from more than a dozen Dutch books. It is fitting that the collection begins and ends with poems of travel, moving back in time from an elderly man's entanglement and resignation to the detachment and harsh light of youth, with everything in between.
