    The poem “weg is de weg naar toen…” was written by the Dutch poet Hans van de Waarsenburg. He was born on 26 April 1943 in Helmond and died on 15 September 2015 in Maastricht. Van de Waarsenburg was a prominent figure in Dutch poetry and received the prestigious Jan Campert Prize in 1973 for his collection “De vergrijzing”. He was also the founder of the Stichting Poëziecentrum Nederland and played an important role in the literary community of Maastricht. His work is characterized by a profound exploration of human emotions and experiences, often interwoven with the Limburg landscape and culture.

      This poem is located in the middle of a land consolidation in Jesseren (the nearby nature reserve Waerdeveld was bought by the province during the land consolidation). In order to place the somewhat 'protruding' letters of the poem, the poem was cut out of Corten steel and cast in a special way into the concrete of the road.

        gone is the road
        to then
        still
        away from this loonse landscape
        between clod and fruit
        signed with
        a new carrying capacity
        forever


        away from you

        This beautiful poem is etched in the concrete road surface at the intersection of Rekstraat and Bosstraat. Does anyone have any idea who wrote it?
