Maud Vanhauwaert (1984, Veurne, Belgium) made her literary debut in 2011. Her debut poetry collection Ik ben mogelijk (I am possible) was published by the prestigious literary publisher Querido in Amsterdam. As a poet, Maud is everything but confined to her writing desk. She enjoys performing and does it exceptionally well. During her studies in Germanic languages, she also followed acting classes at the Artesis Hogeschool in Antwerp. In 2010 she was awarded the Frappant TXT Prize by the Province of Antwerp, the first prize in a writing contest for promising new authors. That same year she won the ‘Poetry slam’ – a poetry performance contest between poets – at the literary festival ‘Zuiderzinnen’ in Antwerp.
