Simon Vinkenoog is a highly-respected poet, editor and
cultural figure in his native Amsterdam: indeed, such
is his visibility that, for a while, he was a hero of
a popular comic strip. He has continually
spear-headed avant-garde movements in Amsterdam and
abroad, beginning with a series of important
English/Dutch translations of various Beat poets,
including Ginsberg. Later work included a cultural
mission for the U.N. in India, where he had spent many
of his formative years. For many years, he has edited
Bres, a magazine of cultural and anthropological
writing. He is also the co-author of over 20 books of
prose and poetry. One of these, Liefde ("Love"),
records Ira Cohen's first appearance in
Amsterdam--wearing an Arabian burnous.
