Bi-lingual Danish/English poetry, selected from Erik Knudsen’s 17 collections. Some of Knudsen’s favorite topics are the danger of self-importance and the humbleness of human ability compared to Mother Nature and the paradoxes of life. His poetry is equal parts irony, inventiveness and warning. He makes leaps of logic with the greatest precision, and reading his poetry is simply fun.
