Inger Christensen (1935– 2009), whose work is a cornerstone of modern Scandinavian poetry, was the recipient of many international awards, among them the Nordic Authors’ Prize, bestowed by the Swedish Academy and known as the “Little Nobel.” Her books include the masterpiece it; alphabet; Butterfly Valley; and Light, Grass, and Letter in April. Denise Newman’s fifth poetry collection is The Redesignation of Paradise. For her translation work, she has received two PEN awards and two NEA fellowships.
""Her luminous prose confirms what was already evident in the poems: that Christensen was one of the eminent visionaries of the 20th century."" -- Los Angeles Review of Books ""She whispers to me in my own writing, a brilliant, fierce literary mother whom I will read and reread again and again."" -- Siri Hustvedt ""Inger Christensen is a formalist who makes her own rules, then turns the game around with another rule."" -- Eliot Weinberger ""A magnificent writer. I always hoped she would be given the Nobel Prize. When she died, I said: 'Now they've let Inger die.' I wouldn't have minded waiting. I could have received it later, or perhaps not at all."" -- Herta Müller (Nobel Prize winner 2009) ""a spellbinding surrealist narrative of memory, destiny, and illusion in seven linked tales."" ""The slippage and echoing of the women’s identities serve as intriguing parallels to the elderly Natalja’s attempts to get her story straight. … This beautiful collection is a testament to the inexhaustible possibilities of storytelling."" -- Publishers Weekly ""Immersive and contemplative... the plot of Christensen's book is twisty and original, her vignettes stayed with me for days after closing its pages."" -- Ceci Browning - The Times
