Reviews about Per Hřjholt

On The Stone Laundry and Other Bits
But The Stone Laundry is by and large a fine book, and despite all the parody and irony it is actually devotional, because Højholt is something as seldom and nice as a culture optimist, that rascal.

Poul Borum in Ekstra Bladet, 27 December 1994

 
On Praxis, 11: Lightning Flash Shots
Qualitatively Højholt’s treshold is still impressingly high – it’s the humour and the concentration also in these snap-shots (…) As already mentioned: Praxis 11: Lightning shoots is one of this autums best volumes of poetry. A powerful aperitif.

Jan Thielke in Weekendavisen, 13 October 1995

 
On Praxis, 12: Anecdotes
In this volume by Højholt there is as always food for thought. That the volume doesn’t belong among the most outstanding in the series one shouldn’t be put off by – even second-rate Højholt is a waste product which exceeds most ordinary products.

Frederik Stjernfelt in Weekendavisen

 
On Praxis 9, 10, 11: The Music of the Repeated, Manoevres, Lightning Flash Shots
For those poor people who are not fans and for literary history, the publication points to the so the supreme artistic class of these poems – so that finally there no longer can be any doubt.

Lars Bukdahl in Weekendavisen, 24 July 1998
