"This book is for those of us who want to read more poetry but are frequently stopped by its--what is it? Its chilly self-seriousness? Its unwillingness to hold our hand every so often, while cracking an easy joke? Either way, Sarah Manguso, like her spiritual siblings David Berman and Tony Hoagland, is a friendly kind of savior and guide. Her writing is gorgeous and cerebral (imagine Anne Carson) but she doesn't skimp on the wit (imagine Anne Carson's ne'er-do-well niece). Poetry-fearers, don't back away from this beautiful book; these might be the pages that bring you back into the form." --Dave Eggers

In this book a number of Professor Minna Skafte Jensens articles on Danish Neo-Latin poetry have been collected. The rich Danish Renaissance literature in Latin has since the 1980s been the subject of increasing attention. In her pioneering studies, written between 1984 and 2001, Minna Skafte Jensen presents some of the central authors, such as Hans Jrgensen Sadolin, Tycho Brahe, and Zacharias Lund. The articles offer sensitive readings with an eye to intertextual allusions as well as to the sociological context. The articles which were originally published in Danish appear here for the first time in English.
