Die Zeit, die ist em sonderbar' Ding. En sælsom ting? Nej, hvorfor det? For alle vil have den, derved ligner den alle andre ting, og alle siger: So ein Ding muss ich bestemt auch haben, mens ingen siger: So ein Ding möcht' ich virkelig nicht haben. Men ingen vil have den, som den er, og derved ligner den måske allermest menneskene og deres kærlighed, for alle vil have den, men ingen vil have hinanden, som de er. Ikke mange i hvert fald. Ingen vil have den, som den er, gående, nej, sådan en ting må vi undgå.

The poet Ursula Andkjær Olsen (born 1970, Copenhagen) studied Musicology and Philosophy, and from 1997 to 1999 attended the renowned Danish Authors’ School. The tension between music and poetry is present in all of her work, not just in the chamber operas “Miki Alone” (2002), Kunsten at vælge“ (The Art of Choosing, 2005) and “Alverden god Nat“ (Good Night to the World, 2014), or the cabaret concert “Himmel-Havn“ (Heaven-Harbour, 2007).

Even when Olsen’s poems appear in print, they are conceived fundamentally musically – sonically as well as graphically – in her open, precise, and often plurivocal form. Olsen’s texts transgress genres, open up a linguistic landscape between prose, verse and sound, that extracts its beauty out of the very fragility of those who speak within it. Olsen is interested at every level in the performative elements of poetry, the voice of her poems, their corporality. A reading from Ursula Andkjær Olsen is always more than a reading.

Since her debut in the year 2000 Olsen has published eight books of poetry, the majority with the influential Gyldendal publishing house, including an anthology of selected poems, but also collaborations with visual artists and a play. Together with her sister Julie Andkjær she also created the poetry app “Jeg pynter mig” (I’m getting dressed up).

Alongside numerous other awards, Olsen received for her work the Nordic Council’s Music Prize (2008), the Otto Gelsted Prize from the Danish Academy (2010), and the Montanas Literary Prize (2012).
