Danish poet and novelist Juliane Preisler turns 60 today. Her debut was in Hvedekorn, as so many other 80s poets in Denmark, and since then she has published about 30 books, mostly with Gyldendal.
I translated three thin poems from the collection Lyrik 83. There is a playful, but somewhat neurotic tone to these skeletal pieces. I am reminded of Emily Dickinson in a strange way.
