‘First Night Frost’ is the latest poem by Arjan Hut in his role as Poet of Friesland. Today it can also be read in the Friesch Dagblad, the Leeuwarder Courant, and on the website of Omrop Fryslân.

The Poet of Friesland, Arjan Hut: “Only a very thin layer of atmosphere, on a small planet in infinity, is suitable for us to live in. Yet even here, things are dealt out cruelly.”
