Sinopsis

Miniatures is a collection of short poems by Carsten Renéeacute, Nielsen accompanied by illustrations from Mette Norrie that meet at the crossroads of the seen and unseen, blending whimsy and absurdity into a sequence of brief, wonder-driven experiences. Drawing from the 20th century European legacies of Max Jacob, Jean Arp, and Benjamin Péret, and the later American poetry of Charles Simic and Mark Strand, Nielsen invites readers into strange yet strangely familiar spaces-where trees grow from cracked plates, readers use hand mirrors instead of magnifying glasses, and snow has been assigned its own ministry. Mastering spare yet highly controlled language, KeplingerâÇÖs translation preserves the lyricism of the original, allowing each poem to stand alone while collectively creating a fragmented, surreal vision of reality. Each miniature is a poetic fragment, often only a few lines long, but rich in metaphor and suggestion. Some pieces read like parables infused with satire and humor, while others resemble dreams. Mette Norrie’,s illustrations naturally extend the book’,s visual and perceptual scope, enlarging the readerâÇÖs grasp of what is real, where it encounters what is imaginable.
