Benny Andersen, currently Denmark's most popular poet, is virtually
unknown in the United States. He is a poet of remarkable
versatility, whose voices range from reflective to whimsical. His
imagery is original and often surprising; his humor is delightful.
To introduce Benny Andersen to English readers, Alexander Taylor
has worked with the poet, selecting and translating poems from the
eight books now available in Danish. The poems are presented here
in their Danish versions and in English translations that capture
the spontaneity and excitement of the originals. In both versions
the poetry is evocative and refreshingly direct. The imagery is
vivid, and the poet's inventive use of diction and syntax creates
startling effects. Perhaps most characteristic of Andersen's work
is the fusion of complex, often conflicting emotions within a
single poem. Born in Copenhagen in 1929, Benny Andersen published
his first book of poetry in 1960, to immediate public and critical
acclaim. In addition to poetry, he has written a novel, short
stories, children's books, filmscripts, television plays, and
essays. He has received several awards. Originally published in
1976. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
