There Lives a Young Girl in Me Who Will Not Die

A new selection of poetry from the generation-defining author of the Copenhagen Trilogy, translated for the first time into English. In this playful, mournful, witty collection, little girls stand tip-toe inside adult bodies, achievements in literature and lethargy are unflinchingly listed, and lovers come and go like the seasons. This new selection offers English readers a chance to explore her brilliant, surprising verse across nearly four decades of writing.

Translated by Sophia Hersi Smith & Jennifer Russell, introduction by Olga Ravn
