Uit alles wat ze maakt en uitbrengt spreekt de enorme kracht van woorden \u2013 en daarom zijn we heel blij dat Parks dit jaar Poetry International met een bezoek vereert! Ze vertelt over haar relatie met po\u00ebzie: welke lijnen lopen er tussen haar muziek en gedichten, met welke thema\u2019s houdt ze zich nu bezig en wie inspireren haar als dichter? Natuurlijk zal Parks ook voordragen uit haar po\u00ebziedebuut <em>The Magic Border <\/em>(2023), waarin ze thema\u2019s als queer zijn, rouw, trauma en liefde verkent. Een gesprek en voordracht om naar uit te kijken!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NB: op vrijdagmiddag kun je Arlo Parks ook al zien schitteren op het festival; ze geeft dan een masterclass po\u00ebzie in het Veerhuis, inclusief Q&amp;A.<br><br>Host: Charisa Chotoe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arlo-parks-logo-festival-geel-1-1024x183.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2374\" style=\"aspect-ratio:5.595670538542767;width:112px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arlo-parks-logo-festival-geel-1-1024x183.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arlo-parks-logo-festival-geel-1-300x54.png 300w, https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arlo-parks-logo-festival-geel-1-768x138.png 768w, https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arlo-parks-logo-festival-geel-1-1536x275.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arlo-parks-logo-festival-geel-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"event_date":"2026-06-05","footnotes":""},"venue":[265],"event_type":[77],"route":[],"class_list":["post-2268","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","venue-lantarenvenster-1","event_type-programma"],"acf":{"event_location":265,"event_location_source":{"label":"Locatie","type":"taxonomy","formatted_value":265},"event_category":[77],"event_category_source":{"label":"Categorie","type":"taxonomy","formatted_value":[77]},"language":["english"],"language_source":{"label":"Voertaal","type":"select","formatted_value":[{"value":"english","label":"Engels"}]},"spoken_languages":"Engels","spoken_languages_source":{"label":"Gesproken talen","type":"text","formatted_value":"Engels"},"language_label":"spoken","language_label_source":{"label":"Label","type":"select","formatted_value":"Gesproken talen"},"subtitles":["english","dutch"],"subtitles_source":{"label":"Boventiteling","type":"select","formatted_value":["Engels","Nederlands"]},"has_interpreter":false,"has_interpreter_source":{"label":"Tolk NGT\/Schrijftolk","type":"true_false","formatted_value":false},"poets":[2270],"poets_source":{"label":"Dichters","type":"relationship","formatted_value":[{"ID":2270,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2026-04-30 10:00:57","post_date_gmt":"2026-04-30 09:00:57","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Arlo Parks (2000, GBR) is een populaire singer-songwriter en dichter uit West-Londen, die wereldwijd furore maakt met haar muziek en po\u00ebzie. Ze groeide op in een meertalige familie met Nigeriaanse, Franse en Tsjadische roots. In haar jeugd luisterde ze naar jazzplaten van haar vader, terwijl ze zelf ook werd gevormd door emo en indie. Rond haar eindexamens begon ze muziek te maken op GarageBand; niet veel later verscheen haar eerste single \u201cCola\u201d en tekende ze bij Transgressive Records. In 2023 maakt ze haar debuut als dichter met <em>The Magic Border<\/em>, een bundel met gedichten, songteksten en intieme fotografie van Daniyel Lowden. In haar po\u00ebzie \u00e9n haar muziek verkent Parks thema\u2019s als o.a. queer zijn, rouw, trauma en liefde. Met succes; voor een hele generatie is Parks een iconische artiest bij wie muziek, taal en thematiek onlosmakelijk verbonden zijn.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Waar je deze artiest van kunt kennen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Haar derde album <em>Ambiguous Desire <\/em>is n\u00e9t verschenen \u2013 en nog voor haar wereldtour komt Parks naar Poetry International!\u00a0<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Haar debuutalbum <em>Collapsed in Sunbeams<\/em> (2021) werd bekroond met de Mercury Prize.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Ze is in haar muziek en po\u00ebzie heel open over thema\u2019s als mentale gezondheid, queer identiteit en de onzekerheden van jong zijn.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","post_title":"Arlo Parks (GBR)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"arlo-parks-gbr","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-30 10:00:59","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-30 09:00:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/?post_type=poet&#038;p=2270","menu_order":1,"post_type":"poet","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"hosts":[2791],"hosts_source":{"label":"Hosts","type":"relationship","formatted_value":[{"ID":2791,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2026-05-26 11:53:10","post_date_gmt":"2026-05-26 10:53:10","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Charisa Chotoe (1993) is een Nederlands-Surinaamse dichter, presentator en journalist.
