Sybren Polet

Pseudoniem van Sybe Minnema, Kampen, 19 juni 1924 – Amsterdam, 19 juli 2015.

Polet volgde een opleiding tot leraar in Zwolle. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog debuteerde hij onder zijn eigen naam met de dichtbundel "Genesis" (1946). Als Sybren Polet debuteerde hij in 1949 in het literaire tijdschrift Podium, waarvan hij van 1952 tot 1965 redacteur zou zijn. In 1961 verscheen zijn eerste roman: "Breekwater".

Zijn dichtwerk wordt tot dat van de Vijftigers gerekend. De stad Amsterdam speelt er een centrale rol in en de personages, aangeduid als Mr. Iks, Mr. X,en dergelijke meer, veranderen continu van gedaante.

Zijn proza (=romans en verhalen) had een sterk experimenteel en vernieuwend karakter, waarbij hij de grenzen tussen genres en de conventies inzake structuur en chronologie doorbrak: droom en werkelijkheid staan naast elkaar op hetzelfde niveau; heden, verleden en toekomst lopen in elkaar over; personages hebben geen vaste eigenschappen. Daarmee trachtte hij de complexiteit van het bestaan, dat allesbehalve statisch en rechtlijnig is, te verwoorden. Polet schreef ook toneelstukken en kinderboeken en stelde bloemlezingen samen van poëzie en sciencefiction (wellicht de eerste in hun soort in het Nederlands).

Sybren Polet overleed uiteindelijk exact één maand na zijn 91e verjaardag. Zijn overlijden werd pas na de crematie bekendgemaakt.
