SANDI STROMBERG was born in Plainview, Texas in 1946. She spent twenty years in Europe, where she lived in Switzerland, England, Spain and, from 1988 to 1993, in the Netherlands. Sandi received an MA in Slavic Languages, and has also studied French, Spanish, and Dutch. During her stay in Geneva she was involved in refugee work for the United Nations, and became fascinated with the issues of displacement and alienation. She dealt intensively with these themes in many articles, in publications such as the international Refugees Magazine. These articles include Ambassadors Without Portfolio, about Americans who lived in Europe this century, and Coming in from the Cold, which concerned well-known political refugees in Switzerland including Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, Ignacio Scione, James Joyce and Paderewski.In addition to countless short stories, essays and articles, Sandi has also written a novel, Uncommon Walls. She is currently working on a non-fiction book entitled Clash of Cultures and is a student at the C.G. Jung Educational Center in Houston. In the Netherlands, she has had essays published in various anthologies and magazines, in Dutch as well as in English, with reflections on being an author. These articles include A Votary of the Desk (published by WEL) and Measuring Life With Coffee Spoons (Brabantia). Since returning to Texas, Sandi has been enthusiastically translating the work of Dutch authors. As a result of her efforts, Linguisticum has already been published in the United States, and other Dutch literature may be published there in the future.

In 1995 wonnen Jan Walraven en Loes van Langerak voor al hun inspanningen op cultureel gebied de Sakko-prijs. De laatste tijd richt Jan walraven zich meer op componeerwerk op basis van poëzie.
