D. Wright), often cited as a Nobel contender and one of Europe's most revered poets. On its publication in 1969, it took Denmark by storm, winning critical praise and becoming a huge popular favorite. Translated into many languages, \u003cem\u003eit\u003c\/em\u003e won international acclaim and is now a classic of modern Scandinavian poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eit\u003c\/em\u003e is both a collection of poems and a single poetic epic, forming a philosophical statement on the nature of language, perception, and reality. The subject matter, though, is down to earth: amoebas, stones, and factories; fear, sea urchins, and mental institutions; sand, sexuality, and song. The words and images of \u003cem\u003eit\u003c\/em\u003e recur in ways reminiscent of Christensen's other works, but here is a younger poetry, wilder, and crackling with energy. The marvelous and complex use of mathematical structure in \u003cem\u003eit\u003c\/em\u003e is faithfully captured in Susanna Nied's English translation, which won a 2005 PEN Translation Fund Award.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612943073431,"sku":"9780811215947","price":1467.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780811215947.webp?v=1775081494","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/it-9780811215947","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
