Poetry is sorted alphabetically by year. Choose the year, then the title.



If you are looking for a particular poem but don’t know when it was written in, just do a search for the title of the poem to find it (and you’ll also then know when it was witten). This page may take a while to download, but that is because all of Kuypers’ written poems are recorded here, so you can search the complete archives for the writing of your choice.

The Recovery

The Second Half of the Year




These poems are unedited and written in a journalistic style, and some are very long. These pieces were written shortly after a debilitating accident, changing the author’s attitudes and views about her surroundings.

These pieces are grouped in cluster within the half year by theme. Within each stylistic section the pieces are alphabetic.
