Dorien Dijkhuis
(The Netherlands, 1978) is a writer, poet, journalist and essayist. She publishes in literary journals and collaborates in projects with artists from other disciplines such as musicians, illustrators and digital creators. In 2019, she published her debut collection Waren we dieren (Were We Animals). Her collection Dezelfde Maan (The Same Moon, 2024, Van Oorschot) is a book that transcends genre boundaries: it combines essay, poetry and prose. During Writers Unlimited Festival 2025, her seven-minute poetic virtual reality experience Ver (Far) about distance, desire and communication, can be heard and watched in the foyer of Theater aan het Spui. She made Ver with creative director Harm van de Ven, illustrator Suzan Hijink and composer Myrthe van de Weetering.
