Lieke Marsman (1990) made her debut in 2010 with the collection What I like to tell myself<\/em>, which won her the C. Buddingh Prize for best poetry debut, among others. In 2017, she not only published the collection Man with hat<\/em>, as well as her first novel, The opposite of a human being.<\/em> A year later, she was diagnosed with an incurable form of cartilage cancer. She described her experiences in the poetry collections The following scan takes five minutes<\/em> (2018) and In my basket<\/em> (2021). She took her leave as Poet Laureate at the end of January 2023. Lieke Marsman lived with journalist Simone Peek and their dog Pippa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below, we post an interview we had with her in November 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Shortly after I became Poet Laureate, in early 2020, the first coronal shockdown came. For me, that was nice: being sick meant I did not have the energy for all kinds of activities. In 2018, I was diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of cartilage cancer and a tumour in my shoulder was removed. One year seemed to go well, but the cancer came back, and again, and then I was found to have metastases in my lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The news that I was appointed Poet Laureate coincided with the start of my chemotherapy, which lasted a year and a half. All this time, being Poet Laureate was my line to the outside world. I had always followed the news, but now I could also write something about it and it would be published immediately. As a result, while sitting at home sick, I did not completely lose touch with society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Poet Laureate, I commented on what was happening in the world. I didn't dare do that when I was younger. But it's crazy what such a title does: that diffidence fell off me completely. Apparently, I was granted that authority and people wanted to hear my opinion. With my poems, maybe I can change people's minds or put into words what they already felt but did not yet have the words for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing helps me organise thoughts and get closer to them. When I talk, I often remain vague, with all kinds of nuances and subordinate clauses; when I write, I can articulate something more precisely. I simply come across better on paper.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Processing that I am incurably ill, I do most of the time alone, inside. The word einzelg\u00e4nger has a negative connotation for many people, but not for me; I enjoy being alone a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am regularly angry about what happens to me, and more often desperate. Then I cry very hard. Then I look for a glimmer of hope, scour the internet for new treatments. And I write about it: my most recent collections are about what I am going through. That's my way of sharing my feelings. No, I don't find that lonely. On the contrary, I feel much lonelier when I talk to others about it and find that they can't understand anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The very first interview at the hospital was downright traumatic. I had gone in unsuspecting and was suddenly told: you have cancer, the tumour is very large and already at an advanced stage, so good luck. Six months after the first surgery, I was still having that conversation in my head and crying over nothing all the time. EMDR helped me get rid of that. While recounting that conversation, I had to look at a light shooting back and forth. It was magic - after two sessions I could function again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is nothing to say about my prognosis. It could suddenly get worse quickly and then be done in six months, but it might also take years. Until last summer, there was nothing to see about me. When my friend Simone and I went on holiday, I could leave my illness behind for a while. Since my right arm and shoulder were amputated, things have changed. Some people ask me about it, others don't. On the one hand, I don't always want to talk about it first, at the same time I get annoyed when someone ignores it: hello, I just lost an arm! Can't you just say you feel sorry for me? This still-new situation dominates my day and I feel the need to tell what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since my arm had not been doing so well for some time and I was in a lot of pain, I did not find it so difficult to say goodbye to it. There was a large tumour in it, and I knew what it would mean if it continued to grow, so I was happy that I could still have surgery. There was a week and a half between decision and surgery. It all happened so fast that I just had to let it happen. When it was over, I felt relieved. I knew I did have to say something about it on social media - this was not something I could hide and I actually liked informing the outside world at once. So I joked about it on Twitter: \u201cThis Woman Lost Five Kilo's in One Day: Click Here To Find Out What Her Secret Is\u201d. Since this operation was mostly something positive for me, that's how I tried to take the heaviness off it a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot I have had to relearn, like driving a car, playing tennis, cooking. I find that unexpectedly fun. There are all kinds of tools for one-handed people, like a special cutting board and nail clippers. Only I can't yet fill a pita bread with one hand, I need to practise on that. It's a matter of principle for me to be able to do everything I could before the amputation. I want to prove to myself that I am not dead yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this interview, I am going to be photographed without my right arm for the first time, which I find exciting. The crazy thing is: even though my body is no longer complete, at the same time I am reasonably satisfied with my body for the first time in my life. Like almost every woman, I have had periods when I was insecure about my appearance and thought of myself as fat or bulky. I still have those feelings sometimes, but I can put them into perspective better now - that I am ill, that is a problem.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Simone and I had not been together for very long when it became clear that I am incurably ill. There is no way to cope with that; I would rather say we are undergoing it together. I immediately figured out that I don't want her to perform medical procedures on me, such as tending to my wounds. In some periods, she may do more in the household than I do, but otherwise our equality should remain intact as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is special but mostly terrible that we are going through this together; she means everything to me and I would not have wanted it that way. When I turned out to have metastases three years ago, we did go through a grieving process, but it's not nice to go into it deeply every day. We do talk about my situation, but mostly in the now: what is going on now? What needs to be done now? We don't talk about the future very often - it's sad. When we make plans, it's not further away than a few months; I can't book a trip for the summer holidays right now. I miss that sometimes, because it is also important and nice to look forward to something. But in a way you get used to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A desire to have children I have given up. I don't have time to mourn about that; I am already mourning the fact that I am dying and that is much bigger than having or not having children. I shamelessly project my maternal feelings onto Pippa, our dwarf poodle. She is my baby, the only little creature dependent on my care. We got her as a puppy right after the cancer turned out to be back. She needed my care constantly, needed to go outside, eat and play. That really dragged me through it. It is SO nice to be able to take care of her. Our bond is completely uncomplicated unconditional. I am always nice to her and she is always nice to me.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018When I was 18, my first poems were published in the magazine Tirade<\/em>. At the publisher's author drinks party, my editor advised me to do a lot of nothing. Do nothing? I thought, I'm just going to do everything, experience everything. I was super eager, I could pretty much overestimate myself. If I worked little, I felt useless. While deep down inside even then I felt the need to be alone a lot, I often met up with interesting people and went to the caf\u00e9 and theatre a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All that is different now. In recent years, I have lost friends. Some found it difficult that I am ill and stopped hearing from me. Friendships that mainly revolved around going out were diluted because I no longer felt the need to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Had I not fallen ill, I probably would have continued with my much more extroverted life. But quiet and withdrawn actually suits me much better. If I am tired at nine in the evening from all the day's stimuli, I just go to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the end, that also benefits the quality of my work. That editor was right: doing nothing is important for a writer. I used to write sometimes because I felt I had to - like a civil servant going to work. But I came to realise that at such times I started imitating myself, as it were, because I was too tired to be truthful. Then I would shake a text out of my sleeve that resembled a text by Lieke Marsman, without really feeling the emotions in the poem. Now I take more time to muse or read a little. I dare to wait for what will come. As a result, my ideas are more crystallised and the quality of my work is also better. Because what I write is real.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018The other day I said to my psychologist that if happiness were a pyramid, for me relief would be at the very top. Relief when a scan is good is the highest form of happiness for me right now. I am not experiencing true happiness at the moment, because there is a veil of grey over everything. Sad, but that's how it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Satisfied I do feel. I have achieved the goals I once wanted to achieve. I have published several books and found a harmonious relationship. I got a dog, went on a few faraway trips and proposed to my girlfriend. How things are going physically now is bearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before I became ill, I was more head than body. As a student and later a poet and thinker, I thought I had to sit with my nose in the books all day. Because of my illness, I suddenly became just a body overnight. I started experiencing how nice it is to do something good for my body. Now I exercise every day. Cycling on the exercise bike, the gym, yoga, tennis. Not only do I feel fitter, but it is also a good way to get rid of emotions or stress. Sometimes I feel heartbroken at the start of a game of tennis and find myself crying after only three balls in the net. Not because of that ball, but because of a scan, for example. But because I don't have time to dwell on unpleasant thoughts, I am completely zen again two and a half hours later. That's what I love about it. If I have little energy and have to choose between thinking or exercising, I now choose the latter.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018I've known since I was 13the<\/sup> that I fall for women, but I didn't tell my parents until I was already living on my own. Even though I had no problem with it myself and there was never any negative talk about gays in our family, I still found it quite difficult to tell others. Somehow, I was afraid that the outside world would suddenly see me as a \u201cdyke\u201d, the lesbian stereotype of those days. I didn't want to be put in that box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My parents brought up my sister and me in a loving and broad-minded way, but also made high demands. We were smart and got high grades, which created certain expectations. As a result, I did feel a certain pressure to perform. Perhaps that is also the reason why I did not handle criticism very well. My girlfriend pointed this out to me. Even when it came to small things, washing the dishes or so, I reacted as follows: first I denied. Then I said: \u201cOK, even if it's true, that's not so bad, why bother?\u201d And finally: \u201cBut others do it too.\u201d Or even worse: \u201cYou do it too.\u201d Whereas, of course, you can also admit that someone is right, or at least think about it first. I see now that this is a pattern in my family; we all defend ourselves. Afterwards, you feel guilty about that, because you actually knew the other person was right. Because I started to see through that pattern, I no longer react like this and I can take criticism better. That is so much nicer. If you just say sorry, it's solved immediately. And that feeling of guilt afterwards is no longer necessary.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Of course, I have thought a lot about death in recent years. I don't think I fear it so much, but I do fear the moments just before. I don't dare think about that at all yet. I hope I will last as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every six weeks I have a new scan. That week I can't do anything, I don't do anything, I don't meet anyone. Even after five years, I still haven't found a way to cope with the tension about the result, it's always terrible. Because I have been given bad news so many times, I prepare for the worst every time. But over the past year, I have come to realise that I should not forget to keep hoping for the good. It is important to keep a glimmer of hope, whether realistic or not. So tell me about people who have been miraculously cured. Lately, I have also been reading a lot of stories from people who have had a near-death experience, all talking about how beautiful what they saw was. That reassures me and I take comfort from that. I used to think: after death there is nothing more. But now I think: who knows.\u2019<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Op 3 juni 2026 overleed voormalig Dichter des Vaderlands Lieke Marsman op 35-jarige leeftijd.
