Poet, born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. As an exponent of the Movement of Fifty, he brought their poetry to the public's attention with the anthology Atonaal (1951, Atonal). During the 1960s he was the driving force behind the so-called happenings where poets like Deelder and van Doorn made their debuts as performing poets. Vinkenoog's autobiographical prose, which covers almost five decades, may be read as the historical representation of an era. As a poet, he adheres to the principles of the Movement of Fifty, writing strong associative poetry with autobiographical elements.
