Abstract
It’s Simply Ingenious Niels Hav (bio) Translated by P. K. Brask (bio) Poems are in many ways different from sausages; e.g., poems have the advantage over sausages— you can eat them, and they are still there. You can eat them over and over, they are still there anyway. Just like that pig in Norse mythology. The commercial officer at the embassy couldn’t understand that. It surprised him, simply. Ingenious, he said, rubbing his hands as if he already sat in Valhalla drinking mead. It’s simply ingenious.
