Pia Tafdrup

    Pia Tafdrup ist eine dänische Schriftstellerin, deren Werk von einer tiefgründigen Erforschung der menschlichen Existenz und Sprache geprägt ist. Ihr poetischer Stil ist bildhaft und rhythmisch, wobei sie sich häufig Themen wie dem Körper, der Natur und der Fluidität des Lebens widmet. Tafdrup untersucht die Verbindung zwischen der inneren und äußeren Welt und findet Schönheit im Alltäglichen. Ihr Schreiben ist sowohl introspektiv als auch universell und spricht Leser mit unterschiedlichem Hintergrund an.

    The Taste of Steel * The Smell of Snow
    • Pia Tafdrup is one of Denmark's leading poets. The Taste of Steel and The Smell of Snow are the first two collections in her new series of books focussing on the human senses. While taste and smell dominate, the poems are equally about the way of the world and the losses that people sustain during the course of their lives.

    • In 1999, Queen's Gate, Pia Tafdrup's ninth book, won Scandinavia's most prestigious literary award, the Nordic Council Literature Prize. Now available in English in a lovely rendition by David McDuff, English language readers can experience this outstanding poet's celebrated collection. "From water you have come," writes Tafdrup, creating her own myth through a sequence of highly sensual poems centered on water in all its forms. This is a composite picture of the basic elements of the life-cycle of nature and man, mirrored through a conceptual world that takes the body as its axis, in poetic language of great visual and emotional power. The poems are written from a female point of view, and reflect the whole story of human life and suffering.
