Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. I read this in brief segments over the course of a few months. The genius of this work can be found not only in the mathematically inspired composition, but in Nied's brilliant translation. Christensen used the Fibonacci sequence to inspire the structure of the poems, but there is a poignant richness brought by the words themselves to the themes of environment, nature, progress, humanity in the midst of metaphysical simplicity. I think this is the most I've ever enjoyed a book of poetry. Not the usual for me to use someone else's review but in this case I'm making an exception because I don't know if I could explain 'Alphabet' anywhere near as well. http://www.complete-review.com/reviews/dansk/christi.htm It is a very unique piece (it's to be found in the Oulipo section of Complete Review) and well worth recommendation from here. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

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 poetic works have enjoyed wide public popularity. Many of her poems have a visionary quality, yet she is a paradoxically down-to-earth visionary, focusing on the simple stuff of everyday life and in it discovering the metaphysical as if by chance. In Alphabet, Christensen creates a framework of psalm-like forms that unfold like expanding universes, crystallising into words both the beauty and the potential for destruction that permeate our world and our times.
