Eric Verpaele (Zelzate, 2 February 1952 – Ertvelde, 10 August 2015) pseudonym Eriek Verpale was a Belgian writer. He attended a boarding school in Oostakker and studied Germanic and Slavic philology at the University of Ghent. He was an editor of the magazine Koebel, several literary magazines and the Belgisch-Israëlitisch Weekblad (E: Belgian-Israeli Weekly).[1]
He made his literary debut as a poet with neoromantic poems in Polder- en andere gedichten (1975). His maternal great-grandmother was of jiddisch Polish-Jewish ancestry, and the chasidic and Eastern European literature play an important role in his work.
