valise

The very same container ship that brought me Tanto’s watercolor drawings, brought me a valise – a valise filled with letters from the poet Marije Langelaar (mostly dated from the late-nineties). In a much earlier life – before WWII – this valise traveled by boat from Rotterdam to NY. By now, this valise has crossed two oceans – no more unpacking for this valise though, it stays in Bandung (for now, I must add).
