Eriek Verpale

Eric Verpaele (Zelzate, 2 February 1952) pseudonym Eriek Verpale is a Belgian writer. He attended a boarding school in Oostakker and studied Germanic and Slavic philology at the University of Ghent. He was an editor of the magazine "Koebel", several literary magazines and the "Belgisch-Israëlitisch Weekblad" (E: Belgian-Israely Weekly).

He made his literary debut as a poet with neoromantic poems in "Polder- en andere gedichten" (1975). His maternal great-grandmother was of jiddisch Polish-Jewish ancestry, and the chasidic and Eastern European literature play an important role in his work.
