Glaz Serup and Wertheim will also be creating a video-document entitled The Field / Field States.

Glaz Serup and Wertheim will also be creating a video-document entitled The Field / Field States. Inspired by Glaz Serup’s book, The Field, different people along the tour route (event attendees, students, etc.) will be asked to read one of the hundred pieces of The Field on video, creating short clips of field texts in different voices, different bodi
es,
genders, and personas—though all from “field states” in the American
Midwest (Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio). The filmed version will
embody Glaz Serup’s The Field, performing everybody’s autobiography.
Martin Glaz Serup was born in 1978 and has published six children’s books, most recently an illustrated story entitled When granddad was a postman (2010). He has also published six collections of poetry; his long poem The Field (2010) has been published in Denmark (2010), USA (2011), Sweden (2012) and Finland (2013). Serup is the former founding editor of the Nordic web-magazine for literary criticism Litlive and the literary journal Apparatur, and is the former managing editor of the poetrymagazine Hvedekorn. He has taught creative writing at The University of Southern Denmark and at The University of Aarhus; he is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Copenhagen. In 2006 Serup received the Michael Strunge Prize for poetry and in 2008 he received a Gold medal from The University of Copenhagen for his dissertation of Poetry and Relational Aesthetics. In 2012 he was awarded the prestigious three-year grant from the Danish Art's Council.

Fedt. Tænk engang, en biografi som er længere end invitationen. Dette er virkelig the power of networking. Jeg synes Marken er ok, men se engang hvor langt den flyver. Dette er socialt talent der vil noget.
I said that.
Non dimenticare il campo!

Yo Susanne, der er selvsagt en del tilfældigheder forbundet med hvad der bliver oversat og udbredt hvordan og hvorledes og hvornår, og det er jo fint at du synes at Marken er ok, men der er en del folk rundt omkring, der lader til at synes at den er mere end det. Måske der også er andet talent end blot rent socialt på spil.
Yo, yo. Men hvorfor redigerer du ikke din blog? Tror du godt at vi gider at læse en otte kilometer lang liste over folks endeløse CV-sejre? Hvor meget skal man bare retweete uden at forholde sig? Jeg bare lurer. Er det relevant? Og tilfældigheder siger du? Jeg ved ikke. Hvis en asocial poet havde skrevet Marken havde den næppe kommet på svensk og engelsk. Det er ikke noget "personligt angreb" lizm, det er bare til at blive nuts over at se hvilke bøger som får opdrift og hvilke som ikke får. I visse tilfælde har det zip med litteratur at gøre, det kan vel ikke være kontroversielt at påstå. Kommer jeg i Information nu, med citat og det hele? At være kritiker er vel ikke bare at skrive fine sætninger i avisen, det er vel også at forsøge at sige noget tilnærmelsesvist sandt slash ubehageligt af og til. Også til venner. Også i offentligheden.
Men Susanne, du kan vel selv redigere hvad du læser - scrolle fx, hvis du ikke gider at læse cv'er; og bloggen her er jo ikke kun til dig; jeg RT faktisk en del pressemeddelelser.
Mht. Marken; jeg synes jo selvklart at det er en god og vigtig bog, ellers havde jeg ikke skrevet den; efterhånden findes der også en del læsninger/artikler/anmeldelser/efterord osv., der på forskellig vis præsentere læsninger af bogen og foreslår indgange og grunde til at den kunne være værd at læse. Dem kan man jo læse. Og være uenig hvis man vil, men jeg tror ikke det er mig man skal have diskussionen med.
Iøvrigt har jeg skrevet nær ved 20 bøger i alt - hvordan forklarer du at det kun er Marken der har oplevet denne massive opdrift (den udkommer med på finsk i begyndelsen af næste år også).
