Inger Christensen Libri

Inger Christensen's masterpiece it , translated brilliantly by Susanna Nied, and with an illuminating introduction by Anne Carson. it is 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, it won international acclaim and is now a classic of modern Scandinavian poetry.it is 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 amoebas, stones, and factories; fear, sea urchins, and mental institutions; sand, sexuality, and song. The words and images of it recur 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 in it is faithfully captured in Susanna Nied's English translation, which won a 2005 PEN Translation Fund Award.

Inger Christensen (1935-2009) was both a virtuoso and a paradox. Her fiction, drama, essays and children's books won her wide acclaim in Denmark and other European countries, but it is her poetry spanning a forty-year period that best reveals her versatility and depth. Her poetry reflects a complex philosophical background, yet her most complex schovat popis

"Butterfly Valley: A Requiem collects four medium-length works. "Butterfly Valley" is a sonnet cycle which describes the glowing color and beauty of butterflies, and also their fragility and mortality. Memory is uncovered in the poem like the fluttering of their wings. In "Watersteps," the fountains and piazzas of Rome coalesce, brought alive in the imagination by the poem's shifting rhythms, lines, and overall structure. In "Poem on Death" the poet seeking immortality faces the whiteness of the page as the blankness of death. "Meeting," written in extended sections, describes a "coming together," yet examines our failure to connect and the ability of language to overcome this."--BOOK JACKET.

The narrative intertwines the lives of a writer, Sampel, and his fictional creation, Azorno, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. As all the women are pregnant by Sampel, the mystery deepens around the true identity of the narrator. Questions arise about a possible murder, the sanity of the characters, and whether the unfolding events belong to Sampel's novel or the works of Inger Christensen, creating a complex tapestry of intrigue and existential exploration.

For the first time available in English, a selection of some of Inger Christensen's most insightful essays and poetic prose pieces

The frescoed picture of the duke and his family on the walls of the Camera degli Sposi looks so peaceful -- you would never guess that a murder has just taken place. Prince Lodovico of Mantua invites the painter Mantegna to his palace to decorate one of the rooms. The painting is slowly completed and the prince's secretary records its progress in his gossip-laden diary. The story is then taken up by the prince's daughter, the dwarf Nana, whose story digs deeper into characters and motivations around the palace, and is quite forthright about deceits and vendettas, assassination and incest within its walls. It is completed by the painter's young son, Bernardino, who introduces a note of high fantasy into the narrative. What results is a beautiful yet startling picture of the Renaissance, as rich and colorful as the men and women depicted on the palace walls.

Martin Kasper (*1962 in Schramberg) verwandelt architektonische Räume durch seine Temperagemälde in Schauplätze seelischer Befindlichkeit: Es entstehen Orte der Leere, gedankliche Freiräume, Momente gespannter Ruhe und Atmosphären von eigenwilliger Aura. Die neuen Ganzfigurenporträts des Künstlers, in denen die Dargestellten vor den Hintergründen zu schweben scheinen, erweitern die Architekturbilder eindrucksvoll. Die historischen Bildhauerateliers des Museums Künstlerkolonie auf der Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt inspirierten Kasper zu einer Malerei-Installation, die Architektur- und Menschenbilder im gegenseitigen Echo vereint und zugleich den realen mit dem imaginären Kunstraum verschränkt. Der Band dokumentiert die Ausstellung anhand von In-situ-Aufnahmen und bietet so einen lebendigen Einblick in das Gesamtwerk des Künstlers, dessen geheimnisvolle Innenwelten in literarischen Texten, etwa von Inger Christensen und W. G. Sebald, ein weiteres Echo finden. Ausstellung: Museum Künstlerkolonie, Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt 2.2.–21.4.2014

Inger Christensen (geboren 1935), Dänemarks bedeutendste Dichterin der Gegenwart, hat zur Komposition und zu den Figuren des berühmten Gemachs, das Andrea Mantegna (1431 bis 1506), erster Hofkünstler der Kunstgeschichte, im Gonzaga- Palast von Mantua ausmalte, eine erregend schöne und rätselhafte Geschichte geschrieben.
