Documents of absence
Hansen, Inger Elisabeth: FraværsdokumenterWinner of the Norwegian Poetry Book Club's Prize 2000
A marked return to the explicitly political, DOCUMENTS OF ABSENCE is divided in two parts, whose titles state their subjects quite clearly: The first is called "Enemy Verses and Observations", the second "Pornographies and Speculations - 13.5 poems about the Government".
"Hansen’s sense of the poetical is so sharp that she succeeds in producing images that work even from material like this ... wise and skilled"
