Wim Ramaker (Kampen, 1943 - February 10, 1992) was a Dutch broadcaster, writer and poet. He was born as the son of Christian Reformed Willem Ramaker. His father came to life a few months after his birth during a search by the Germans.
From 1985 to 1989, Wim Ramaker was director-chief of Radio Noord and was responsible for a major reorganization within this broadcast.
In 1989 he became director of the Red Hat in Amsterdam and in 1991 he became director of the National Committee 4 and 5 May.
For his directorate he worked as editor of the Literama NCRV Book Program.
He wrote prose himself and made (close) bundles of his own work and that of others. Among other things, it is known as a moment for a moment, a composition about the war memorials in the Netherlands. Ben van Bohemen made the pictures and Wim Ramaker the poems.
From the town of Kampen he was commissioned to make a poem about poems about Kampen. This resulted in the poem bundle. Maybe we will go to the IJssel. The poems in this bundle carry a strong personal character, including to his father and his mother.
Wim Ramaker died of the effects of a heart attack.
