Martinus Nijhoff fu un poeta, drammaturgo, saggista e traduttore olandese. La sua poesia è caratterizzata da una sensibilità romantica che spesso esplora temi di ansia, solitudine e desiderio di innocenza infantile. Scrive in un linguaggio accessibile, ma rivela magistralmente il mistero dietro le cose e gli eventi quotidiani, impiegando frequentemente uno stile vicino al vernacolo parlato. Nijhoff fu anche un rinomato traduttore, e la sua opera influenzò significativamente la letteratura olandese.
