Piet Devos

Piet Devos is an author, translator and literary scholar. At the age of five, he became blind due to retinal cancer. These experiences of illness and disability are very important for who he is today. Piet says: “They have shaped me as a person, as a writer and researcher, but also as an activist for a greener and more inclusive world. From an early age, I was introduced to the fragility of life and the richness of different bodies and perspectives. What drives me above all else is the telling of untold or forgotten stories.”
