Reviews about Peter Laugesen

On Constructed Situation
-Laugesen's provoking and beautiful poetry. (...) Peter Laugesen is just as close to the abyss as to absolutely beautiful and revealing poetry in his new collection. (...) Peter Laugesen's poems are a sort of hacking into a shining presence, and at the same time a disrespectful involvement with society, which burns a hole in the hearts of teenagers, dogs, poetry freaks and the Danish man and woman.

Connie Bork in Politiken, 28 March 1996

 
On Rag-Times
It's the immense appetite for life in his writing that drives the words so spell-bindingly forward in Peter Laugesen's authorship...The howlingly essential is a part of the task of Peter Laugesen's poetry. There are, to maintain the canine language, both yelps and bites and surprising jumps in his new poems.

Jørgen Johansen in Berlingske Tidende, 3 November 1997

 
On When Angles Burp Jazz
In many ways it is an abundant and ferociously bristly collection, a poetic porcupine. (...) A rich book, overflowing with variety. Full of odour, sun and dirt. Violence, rage and mad existences.

Peter Nielsen in Århus Stiftstidende, 4 June 1998
