Career
Besides being a poet, he was a lecturer at the psychology department of the Universiteit Leiden. His poetry is influenced by the Vijftigers. Faverey"s poetry is thought of as dense and difficult, though Favery usually laughed at such remarks, saying that it really is not that hard.
After Chrysanten, Roeiers was published, in 1977, Faverey quickly became accepted and canonized.
The number of critical studies of his work increases—to the point where Faverey seems to be on a par with Gerrit Kouwenaar and Lucebert. He is buried at Zorgvlied cemetery.
1969 - Amsterdam Poetry Award for Gedichten.
