Doug Hoekstra -Unopened - Alterna-folk poetry

“It’s about experiences that are sort of unopened and what happens when you really open them up and look at them.” Songwriter and poet Doug Hoekstra shares his insights into life and poetry, talking about his new collection of poems – Unopened. ” All art does that, it forces you to unopen your life and thoughts.. ..I think if you write with direction and a narrative that’s great; but you have to be sure it’s not just you, but it’s the spaces… that people can get into them. It’s what makes it worth doing really.”
