Book excerpt: Inger Christensen's masterpieceit, translated brilliantly by Susanna Nied, and with an illuminating introduction by Anne Carson. itis the masterwork by Danish poet Inger Christensen ("a true singer of the syllables," said C. D. Wright), often cited as a Nobel contender and one of Europe's most revered poets. On its publication in 1969, it took Denmark by storm, winning critical praise and becoming a huge popular favorite. Translated into many languages,itwon international acclaim and is now a classic of modern Scandinavian poetry. itis both a collection of poems and a single poetic epic, forming a philosophical statement on the nature of language, perception, and reality. The subject matter, though, is down to earth: amoebas, stones, and factories; fear, sea urchins, and mental institutions; sand, sexuality, and song. The words and images ofitrecur in ways reminiscent of Christensen's other works, but here is a younger poetry, wilder, and crackling with energy. The marvelous and complex use of mathematical structure initis faithfully captured in Susanna Nied's English translation, which won a 2005 PEN Translation Fund Award.

Download or read book The Mercy written by Philip Levine and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2000-10-24 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Levine's new collection of poems (his first since The Simple Truth was awarded the Pulitzer Prize) is a book of journeys: the necessary ones that each of us takes from innocence to experience, from youth to age, from confusion to clarity, from sanity to madness and back again, from life to death, and occasionally from defeat to triumph. The book's mood is best captured in the closing lines of the title poem, which takes its name from the ship that brought the poet's mother to America: A nine-year-old girl travels all night by train with one suitcase and an orange. She learns that mercy is something you can eat again and again while the juice spills over your chin, you can wipe it away with the back of your hands and you can never get enough.

Download or read book Farming Dreams written by Knud Sorensen and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book of translated Danish poetry, farming is not used as a background for personal drama but as the speaker's central subject. The poet succeeds in defining his central task as the vivid evocation of the repeated seasonal chores that make up the essence of farming life. Never sentimental, and often humorous, the book might be called an earthy celebration of essential ritual; but it is an elegy as well, for the poems also chronicle the pressures that lead to collapse of farming as a vocation, describing the slow shift of a vital farming village into a bedroom community for those who work elsewhere. How the poet manages to maintain his "dream about farming" as a living possibility, to make it part of a stable vision of the possible, without flinching from sober facts and figures, is one of its many impressive achievements. Carl Dennis, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of twelve books of poetry including "Practical Gods" and "Another Reason" Knud Sorensen's poems investigate and lament the end of the Danish farmer's way of life, brilliantly capturing its intertwined beauty and sadness.These poems have a universality that speaks to the disappearance of the family farm, not just in Denmark but in America and across the globe.All thanks to Michael Goldman for such vivid translations that allow a new audience to see 'Denmark like a green dream about eternity.' Denton Loving, author of "Crimes Against Birds," editor of drafthorse literary journal Knud Sorensen's formidable literary output bears a vulnerability, an embracing, gentle warmth, and a penetrating apprehension of emotional depth in commonplace events.May his work take flight and find readers around the globe. Dorthe Nors, Danish author of "Karate Chop" ..".Sorensen is one of the best Danish poets.,"br> Martin Gregersen, Kristelig Dagblad "Knud Sorensen has acquired a unique, compassionate and deep insight into the mentality and the psychological shifts among farmers and rural people as a result of the total change in their circumstances over the past 60 - 70 years." Johannes H. Christensen, Jyllands-Posten "No one has, for so many years and in so varied and detailed ways, written about rural life and the radical changes it has undergone, as Knud Sorensen." Erik Svendsen, Jyllands-Posten"

Book excerpt: Danish Northwest is a poetry collection that shows “hygge” in its various aspects as practiced or rendered in the outskirts of Denmark, more precisely in the northwestern region of Jutland called Thy. The poems were originally published in Danish and in a dialect called “thybomål”.

This new rendering has been achieved through a collaboration between the author and the Irish poet, Mary-Jane Holmes.
