In February, our new village poet Frank Devos extended an invitation to Flemish poets to write a poem for Doel. He has since received 70 poems. These 70 poets have now been invited to come to Doel on 10 May to write their poems on water-resistant canvases and attach them to the walls of empty houses in Doel. Many poets, including some literary heavyweights, have already accepted the invitation. One of the main streets in Doel will be completely "poeticised" on 10 May.
