Lot relating to the journalist/writer/poet Karel N. L. Grazell.
Lot with private editions, partly published in very small editions.
Grazell's poems (partly under various pseudonyms, including Leins Janema) have been published in Propria Cures, Criterium, Podium and Braak, among others. In addition to poetry, he also writes stories, anecdotal prose and memoirs. But his most famous line is not from a poem…
