Ward van der Houwen has been performing as a poet for years, with his own programme or as a writer of occasional verse. Initially with light poetry and love poetry, and later with poetry under the umbrella, “the poets of the covenant”. He currently combines his love of engineering with poems about space travel, and in particular unmanned exploration of other worlds. What perhaps at first sight seems to be a strange combination of “soft” art and “hard” technique has always been a matter of course in post-industrial revolution Russia and the Soviet Union. It is also Russian (Soviet) unmanned space travel, which appears in his poetry the most.
