Her fiction, drama, essays and children's books won her wide acclaim in Denmark and other European countries, but it is her poetry spanning a forty-year period that best reveals her versatility and depth. Her poetry reflects a complex philosophical background, yet her most complex poetic works have enjoyed wide public popularity. Many of her poems have a visionary quality, yet she is a paradoxically down-to-earth visionary, focusing on the simple stuff of everyday life and in it discovering the metaphysical as if by chance. In Alphabet, Christensen creates a framework of psalm-like forms that unfold like expanding universes, crystallising into words both the beauty and the potential for destruction that permeate our world and our times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924989001886,"sku":"ING-9781852243104","price":23.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781852243104.jpg?v=1782957033","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781852243104","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
