This is experimental poetry that transcends its time, inviting participants to hear how words are transformed into sounds and music into expressive language. Christensen’s cycle of poems “Det” (1969) is the first translation of Danish poetry to be published as a separate book in Lithuania. “It is both a single poem, a collection of poems and a subtle poetic epic about the interconnection between man, language and the world, the nature of language and its presence in our reality.
