100 Danish Poems
Text in English & Danish. Danish poetry is coloured by the distinctive tone of its language, shaped by the contours of the landscape, the rhythms of modern small-town life, and derives impressions from the luminous nights, the autumn storms, and the long dark winter months. This anthology provides a representative selection of 100 Danish poems by sixty-four poets, ranging from the medieval balladeers to poets already of international standing as well as younger poets. The edition is bilingual, allowing readers the possibility of reading the English and Danish texts side by side, and contains a lengthy introduction outlining the central developments in the history of Danish poetry, situating its most important oeuvres and themes within a larger international framework. The majority of the poems have not previously been made available in English. Published in collaboration with the University of Washington Press.
Danish Northwest
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”. As with any translation, the English version can be considered in a sense a new collection of poems given the adjustments and additions needed to capture the essence of the original. This new rendering has been achieved through a collaboration between the author and the Irish poet, Mary-Jane Holmes.
Danish Ballads
This 1920 book contains a series of English verse translations of Danish ballads. As far as possible, the metrical variations of original Danish versions are reproduced and literal accuracy is privileged over poetic effect. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Danish literature and the ballad form.
Friendship and Poetry
In this book a number of Professor Minna Skafte Jensens articles on Danish Neo-Latin poetry have been collected. The rich Danish Renaissance literature in Latin has since the 1980s been the subject of increasing attention. In her pioneering studies, written between 1984 and 2001, Minna Skafte Jensen presents some of the central authors, such as Hans Jrgensen Sadolin, Tycho Brahe, and Zacharias Lund. The articles offer sensitive readings with an eye to intertextual allusions as well as to the sociological context. The articles which were originally published in Danish appear here for the first time in English.
Song of Walls
The poetry collection Song of Walls by Poul Lynggaard Damgaard is a transformation of the poem when it meets the world, and when it meets the world again.

Landskabets dybde i berøring med sivene. ‘The courage of the junction’ er et digt udgivet i The Long Islander, New York, 2018. Naturens skønhed er et referencepunkt.
