Sinds juli 2026 werk ik fulltime aan mijn nieuwe roman en neem ik nog maar weinig externe klussen aan. Veel dank aan het Nederlands Letterenfonds voor het subsidiëren van mijn vreemde leven.

Please note that I don't supervise or teach. I don't like institutional structures and prefer to live like an animal.

"Small pieces of glass – each and every writing from Nadia de Vries gets stuck under your skin, like a splinter, and then wrestles its way out. They are sharp, and hard, and then soft, and then surprising."

"De Vries's work could be considered Symbolist Poetry for the Internet Age. Not unlike Rimbaud, she bears witness to great personal upheavals – although hers are domestic rather than militaristic. She wryly invokes poetry's ivory tower intellectualism, while setting the stage for a personal theatre of rage."
