Freddy de Vree (Antwerp, October 3 1939-Antwerp, July 3 2004), pseudonyms Marie-Claire de Jonghe, Conny Couperus and James Klont; was a Belgian poet, literary critic and radiomaker. The past and death play an important role in his oeuvre. He was a friend of W.F. Hermans, Roland Topor and Sylvia Kristel.
Freddy de Vree made his debut as a poet in 1961 with the French-language Blues pour Boris Vian and published his first novel in 1966 (Goudfluit, Eng: Golden flute). Other notable poem anthologies are the 1969 Jaja (E: Yesyes) and De lemen liefde (E: Love of loam), both published under the pseudonym Marie-Claire de Jonghe. He translated Stefan Themerson and Georges Bataille.
His work was posthumously celebrated in the exhibition Antiquaire du surréalisme.
