Han bor alene i en kolonihave, har ikke kysset en mand i tre år og kommer kun for egen hånd. Han går ture med sin hund, læser H.C. Andersen og drømmer om at blive en havfrue. En dag føder han en dronning ud af røvhullet, hoster en prinsesse op på pudevåret, og så kommer feberen for at afskedige ham eller tilgive ham.FORGABT er digte om at være alene, om ikke at blive berørt af menneskehånd og om at finde andre former for intimitet, lyst og kropslighed end seksualitetens. I FORGABT opløser Bjørn Rasmussen membranen mellem drøm og virkelighed og lader dét være den heftigste affære.Med vignetter af Rikke Villadsen

'Brilliant poems of complex, haunting power... Averno may be Glück's masterpiece' The New York Times Book ReviewAn acclaimed collection from the Nobel prize-winning poetThis startlingly original reworking of the Persephone myth takes us to the icy shores of Averno, the crater lake regarded by the ancient Romans as the entrance to the underworld. Here, the consolations of rebirth and renewal are eclipsed by the immediacy of loss - by a mother's possessive grief, an abducted girl's equivocal memories, a farmer's lament for a lost harvest. This chorus offers neither comfort nor solace but deepened understanding, its sorrow textured by the poet's luminous wit. Together, the poems of Averno swell to a staggeringly powerful lamentation, through which the reader glimpses the ecstasy of the inevitable, only to find it resisted by the insistent, impersonal presence of the Earth.

Så en morgen er undergangsdigte. Det er digte om alderdom, tab af evner og identitet, mistet kærlighed. Det er ikke en rolig, afklaret stemme, der taler til os gennem digtene i Så en morgen. Det er en stemme fuld af angst og foragt for forgængeligheden og døden. Et frit fald ned igennem en mørk elevatorskakt - sådan beskrives den sidste fase af livet i disse digte. Og hver dag er bare ét hug nærmere bunden.Når solen endelig bryder frem, er dens lys blot endnu et spot på det ødelagte. Alligevel er der måske et håb, en morgen, i Henrik Nordbrandts nye bog. I sprogets suverænitet, i den skæve strøm af humor, som bevæger sig stille gennem værket, og i fortællerstemmens mod til at være til stede i sin egen ødelæggelse; nærme sig undergangen reflekteret, sansende, følsomt. 

I seem to be your new favorite novel. One that keeps you up at night, turning my pages. Fingers lingering on me so you don't lose your place.

Helle S. Søtrup er tilbage med sin 4. digtsamling!Bønner, Taksigelser, Henvendelser, Overgivelser, Mellemværender.

Stilen favner enkelheden og nærheden, og Søtrup besynger de følelser og forhold, der er et livsvilkår for os alle. Smerten, tabet, sorgen, kærligheden og ensomheden berøres i digtene på en mytisk og hverdagsnær facon.
