Gerrit Achterberg was a Dutch poet born on May 20, 1905, in Nederlangbroek, the third of eight children. His early poetry often reflects a yearning to be reunited with loved ones after death. After a troubled life marked by mental health issues and a notorious incident leading to imprisonment, he published 22 poetry collections between 1939 and 1953. Achterberg married Cathrien van Baak in 1946 and continued to write until his death from a heart attack on January 17, 1962. His most famous work is the sonnet 'Ballade van de gasfitter'.
