Johan "Johnny" van Doorn (12 November 1944 – 26 January 1991) was a Dutch writer, poet and performer, first in Arnhem, later in the country's capital Amsterdam. As a poet Van Doorn called himself Johnny the Selfkicker, a nickname fulfilled by means of wild, often haphazard, performances, during which he never failed to work himself into a frenzy, often resulting in him collapsing in front of an astonished audience, for example in the middle of a large retail outlet.

Early life

Johan van Doorn was born on 12 November 1944, during the final stages of World War II, in the village of Beekbergen.[1] His parents had fled there from their native city of Arnhem, where Operation Market Garden was culminating in the Battle of Arnhem. Van Doorn would later spend most of his childhood and youth in the ruins of Arnhem.

His childhood years were not easy for Van Doorn, because he was born from a marriage between a Dutchman and a German woman.{{clarify|date=July 2015}}

Career

Later he became well known for his "primordial verse", as he used to call it; poetry at its very roots, the cradle of humanity from which nothing emanates but hoarse and raw screams and sounds that hardly have any resemblance with actual words and their meaning.

Early in his career Van Doorn was not very popular.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} Not just his poetry, but his entire posture, as well as his frantic and openly demonstrated drug use were offensive to many people{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} during those otherwise so orderly and phlegmatic postwar decades in the Netherlands, when student uproars, hippies and "altered states of perception" had not yet been heard of. Many people would later come to admire the dedication that characterises Van Doorn's performances and writing.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}

Van Doorn died on 26 January 1991 in Amsterdam, at the age of 46.[1]

Namesake

A Dutch bi-annual Prize for Spoken Literature and a square in the centre of Arnhem are both named after him.
