Iris her drawings have been published in magazines, newspapers and books, including NRC Handelsblad and “De mooiste gedichten”, a collection of poems by Leo Vroman. She has also published her poems in literary magazines such as Hollands Maandblad. In “Ik dicht je bij me” – her highly successful debut collection of poems – drawings and poems merge into a symbiosis. The poems find their way to the viewer, sometimes stubbornly and unwillingly, but always with love and amazement at life in all its facets. “Delightful, this finely crafted, often witty poetry collection illustrated with Iris Le Rütte’s own drawings!”. – ELSBETH ETTY in NRC HANDELSBLAD
