With creative approaches to research, we illuminate emotional experience behind data. In my PhD research I ask, “What is the nature of lecturers’ encounters with technological teaching tools?” I use poetic inquiry as methodology. In the sound poem you are about to hear, Device Detox, data in the form of sound snippets reveal what it is like for an …

påpeger igen, at jeg ikke har haft konstateret depression, bare endnu et digt om kærestesorger og hvordan det føles

Et digt med meget korte vers, endnu et af en stak af digte om kærligheds sorger.

Et meget cyklisk digt om at være forelsket

Et digt om forår, fra en solrig forårsdag

Et langt digt om kærestesorger

Nu begynder teenage-følelserne og kærestesorgerne så småt at bevæge sig ind i mine digte.

Lytter til musik, og skriver et digt

Sidder stadig til tysk terminsprøve og keder mig.

Jeg sidder til tysk terminsprøve og venter på at måtte gå efter jeg er blevet færdig med prøven.

Et digt om terminsprøver

Et digt om at skrive en engelsk opgave

Here I read a few choice pages from Philip Pullman's book "Daemon Voices. Essays on Storytelling" -- in particular his deliberation on what happens when you read a poem aloud as a way of understanding it. He uses Milton's poem Paradise Lost as an example.

Et digt om mine tanker

Et digt om en sommer der går over i et efterår, og hvordan jeg gerne vil gå rundt i shorts og T-shirt lidt længere

En lektie time hvor jeg ikke havde nogen lektier.

Dagens digt er et knæk-prosa digt om det at være spejder, det var en skole-opgave at skrive et knæk-prosa digt, og det her er så det digt jeg endte ud med.

Et digt om at være træt, og ikke at kunne sove.

Et digt om en nat

Et digt om forår, og at sidde indenfor på en solskinsdag

Sidste digt tilbage fra 22. marts 2012, og vidst det sidste jeg skrev til at aflevere til skole opgaven. Som navnet måske antyder, handler det om da jeg gik i seng.

Fra idag ændrer jeg opsætningen af episoderne så digtet kommer først, og så snakker jeg om det bagefter. Dagens digt lægger sig også en del op af digt 2 "En sløv dag", da jeg på dette tidspunkt af dagen sidder og får lavet de sidste lektier meget sent på dagen.

Nærmest en fortsættelse af digtet fra den sidste episode, hvis man tænker på fortælling/historie måden. Efter min mening nok mit pinligste digt

Et lidt anderledes digt idag, hvor der er lidt mindre tanker/følelser end nogen af mine andre digte, men noget mere "historie/fortælling".

Dagens digt er fra en træt eftermiddag, hvor lektierne ikke ligefrem tiltalte mig.

Mit første digt, undskyld for fuglene i baggrunden

Introduktion til podcasten

I believe we are celebrating Africa Month – so I heard, when the International Office of the Durban University of Technology where I work, invited me to share a poem in my mothertongue, Afrikaans. I’m going to use a poem that I wrote first in English sixteen years ago – for my daughter – it is called Turning Six. This year I tried my hand at transl…
