Reviews about Morten Søndergaard

On Bees Die Sleeping
Bees Die Asleep is a collection of poetry which although it is strongly perceived and emotionally present, constantly directs out and away, points towards the horizon, towards the world, which is so big, so big. ‘I run crazy and fractal’ one reads in one place. Morten Søndergaard assembles a whole world picture in his formidable book of poems.

Bjørn Bredal, Politiken 1998-06-02

 
On Indeterminate Places
The precision of the observations, the gleaming coolness of the texts, the closeness and yet insuperable remoteness of things: all this points to the eeriness, the fundamentally uncanny quality of the unshakable closeness of things, their demanding and unceasing nascence, against the observer’s just as helpless loneliness. The last is doubled against the reader, who himself sees this vision see this world ramify uncontrollably, beautifully, familiarly – and yet also eerily, uncannily.

Morten Kyndrup, Litteraturmagasinet Standart. - 1997. - 11, nr. 1

 
On Fire and Number
A pearl of modern Danish poetry, original in content, but above all lavish in its expression. As a reviewer one feels like merely quoting, overwhelmed by a language that thinks in a completely unique manner of its own.

Jørgen Gleerup 1995-11-04
