Inheritance

Grounded in the physical world, the poems explore themes of transformation and nature, using vivid imagery like butterflies emerging from cocoons and larks singing across landscapes. The poet's imaginative perspective adds depth, as seen in reflections on the dawn and a whimsical desire to be a squirrel. Michael Goldman's translations capture nearly four decades of Cecil Bødker's work, conveying its subtle musicality and clarity, making her unique voice accessible to a broader audience.
