Johan Geeraard Adriaan T'Hooft (9 May 1956 – 6 October 1977) was a Flemish Belgian neo-romantic poet.

It is then that he sought safety in literature, especially the works of Franz Kafka and Hermann Hesse, and in drugs.

[6][7] He had written a goodbye message to his wife on the wall and left his pick-up recorder playing The End by The Doors on repeat.

T'Hooft also wrote various essays about his favorite rock artists, including The Doors, Frank Zappa and The Velvet Underground.

[11] Jotie used the alter ego Charles Louis Daenen and performed as this character during his earliest poetry recitals.
