Description:
Find a good night out,
walk along the canals and look
how the light disappears into the houses.
Then place your hands on a wall;
here the oldest stone is right.

What sleeps under the Domplein? Why is Utrecht a city 'you can't leave and you can't stay'? Do monsters live in the canal? How, and especially why, did Utrecht choose a mayor? What is a person supposed to do in the Koekoekstraat, or in Leidsche Rijn? Will the stranded UFO on the Inktpot ever rise again? Utrecht for Beginners is a collection of poems, almanac and city tour in one. In 127 poems, Ingmar Heytze takes you to the alleys, intrigues, residents, new housing estates and hidden histories of the Dom city.

A poetic survival guide for anyone who was or is a resident of Utrecht or ever wants to become a resident of Utrecht.

Ingmar Heytze (1970) has been the first official city poet of Utrecht since the beginning of 2009.

'For me, Ingmar Heytze is the Beatles of Dutch poetry on his own. Everyone loved and loves the Beatles, without them ever making a concession to the general public. I cannot imagine that there is anyone who would not be won over by Heytze's poetry.' Joost Zwagerman
