Made in Denmark

‎4 of my poems and 4 of my songs are to be published 9/9 in Ann Bilde's next book, an autobiography disguised as a fairy tale. The tale of how a stalker chased us out of our home on Fanö. Ann is "The Woman with the Beautiful Garden", and I am "The Poet". The 4 songs will be performed by my composer friend, Christian Jensen, at the Launch at The Wine Bar in Denmark Street in Esbjerg.

I think so too.

Congratulations, Duncan. Are the poems in Danish or English? Very nice either way!

Best,

Ed

That's a fair question, Ed. I'm happy to say that they're all in English. And my experience (= high school teacher) tells me that the three sonnets will stump ca. 99% of the Danish readership. But then the sonics are good.

How many people can say that their work is in someone else's autobiography? Congrats!

My composer friend, Christian Jensen, isn't presented in the video, but it is him on guitar, and him singing the final song.
