Haiku in English and Arabic by the Danish poet Thorvald Berthelsen. He has published six volumes of poetry and haiku, the latest The Tekthonic Plates of Skin in 2018. His poems have been translated into Swedish, English, Arabic, Kurdish, Bosnian, Serbian, Farsi, Hungarian and German.
Since 2012, where he staged a joint haiku reading with previous EU president Hermann van Rompuy, he has edited an English-Danish presentation of Danish haiku poets, most recently in Danish Haiku Today 2019. He was appointed Cultural Frontrunner by the Danish Minister of Culture in 2014.
His haikus are often fragmentary surreal collage landscapes. The key is that the poem puts a moment in perspective in its microcosm and expands the realization in the moment with unexpected twists.
