Hello, I'm a Dutch PhD-student who is writing a dissertation about the Flemish poet Paul van Ostaijen (1896-1928). Van Ostaijen was very interested in the new medium of film. In 1921, he wrote a poem called 'Asta Nielsen'. He was, of course, not the only poet who was fascinated by Asta. Guillaume Apollinaire, for instance, admired her. I have two questions: 1. does anybody know where and when Apollinaire wrote something about Asta Nielsen? 2. do you know other poets who wrote a poem or an essay about her? Thank you for your help!
