Certain Days by Benny Andersen
Translated from Danish by Michael Goldman
Published by Spyuten Duyvil Press 2018
Dual-Language Danish-English
Volume Two of poems from Denmark’s inimitable national poet.
“Canonized, memorized and treasured in Denmark for over half a century, Benny Andersen’s enduring poetry finds a sure voice in Michael Goldman’s delicate and humorous translations. In Andersen’s universe, Spiritual revelations are achieved through the quotidian with heartfelt irony, and Goldman unfailingly translates these juxtapositions, rendering a great service to English-language readers.”
