Mop Mop Magazine

Mop Mop is Perdu’s multilingual magazine, aiming to disseminate poetry beyond the system of writing careers, networking, and awards. The first edition (2022) was edited by Cato van Schaik and Phil Baber, and features poetry in Dutch and English by Amy De’Ath, Anne Vegter, Astrid Alben, Maria Barnas, Michael Tedja, Peter Manson, Ryan Dobran, and Verity Spott. The magazine was designed by Rietlanden Vrouwenbureau. For this first edition of Mop Mop, they worked with material from Perdu’s archive and incorporated it into their unique design.
