Reviews

[Anetq · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tafdrup kan ting med ord - og ovenpå det næsten rene mandlige panel fra den danske digt-kanon jeg hørte i går i Lykkeligt nær ved at græde - udvalgte danske digte så var der klart mere kvindekød og skød set indefra her... Det er selvfølgelig også mere moderne, men alligevel - det er et klart kvindeligt blik, der genkender den rød-brune farve af det første menstruationsblod og den slags.

[Martin Riexinger · Rating 2 out of 5]

Et håndfuld digte har en stærkere virkning,* en stor del af samlingen er dog selv-centreret knækprosa.

* befri de invendige sange, i Venusbjerget, jeg gemmer ansigtet bort.
