Tidens tand gnaver. Den gnaver i alt. Både dig og mig og alt omkring os. Den gnaver i vores kulturarv - alt det der skal fortælle os, hvem vi var, hvem vi er. Det er den vi ser nærmere på - altså kulturarven. Både den faste, den flytbare og den immaterielle. Tidligere i år døde den danske forfatter Henrik Nordbrandt. En af Danmarks største og vægtigste digterstemmer i nyere tid. I dagens Kulturen fejrer vi Henrik Nordbrandt med både hans egne og andres ord. Vært: Jesper Dein.

Over his 25 years as CEO of the Danish textile company Kvadrat, Anders Byriel has turned what was once a small, fairly dusty family design business into a global giant. Perhaps just as notably, he's taken a radical, and even artistic, approach to building and cultivating the brand's culture, partnering with designers such as Raf Simons, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, and Peter Saville; arts institutions like the New Museum in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark; and brands including Adidas Originals, Bang & Olufsen, and Jaguar Land Rover. On this week's episode of Time Sensitive, Byriel talks about why the best design has an artistic edge, the importance of making space for emotion within a corporate environment, and his deep and lifelong passions of poetry and photography.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Anders Byriel [01:04]Annie Ernaux [04:25]“Vermeer” at the Rijksmuseum [06:04]Kvadrat [06:56]Raf Simons [12:05]Peter Saville [13:24]David Adjaye [14:05]Thomas Demand [14:14]Louisiana Museum of Modern Art [14:17]Rosemarie Troeckel [14:20]Olafur Eliasson [14:27]Jean Nouvel [14:40]Massimiliano Gioni [18:06]Pipilotti Rist [18:39]Wu Tsang [19:07]“The Triple Folly” [19:33]Danh Vo [24:20]Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec [27:09]Giulio Ridolfo [30:41]“Materializing Color” [30:43]Adidas Originals x Kvadrat Stan Smith [39:03]Konstantin Grcic [43:06]Verner Panton [49:29]“Pop Art Design” exhibition at Vitra Design Museum [50:20]Robert Adams [01:03:08]Henrik Nordbrandt [01:03:52]Nan Goldin [01:10:39]Ocean Vuong [01:04:54]Ocean Vuong's “Time Is a Mother” book of poems [01:05:01]“Your Brain on Art” book [01:05:09]Hiroshi Sugimoto [01:11:37]“Ai Weiwei In the Elevator When Taken Into Custody by the Police” (2009) [01:12:00]Ansel Adams [01:12:44]Robert Adams's “Around the House” book [01:13:01]Robert Adams's "A Road Through Shore Pine" book [01:13:30]

Hans digtning står i hjemløshedens tegn, men kredser om stedet. Stemningen er ofte tungsindig, men stemmen let. Hans poesi er lettilgængelig, men unddrager sig at blive låst fast i en ramme uden for litteraturen. Digtene opleves som billedrige, men er fattige på metaforer. I denne uge døde digteren Henrik Nordbrandt, 77 år gammel. Som litteraturanmelder Erik Skyum-Nielsen skriver i sin smukke nekrolog: »Den, som ved Henrik Nordbrandts død forsøger at ytre sig om hans fænomenale forfatterskab, bliver uvægerligt tvunget ud i paradokser og frontale selvmodsigelser.« Erik Skyum-Nielsen besøger mig til en god snak om en af de allerstørste danske digtere nogensinde. Vi skal også nå lidt andet. Blandt andet kommer min kollega på Indland Martine Amalie Krogh forbi og fortæller om et skred, der lige nu er på vej: en bevægelse væk fra den forligstradition, der har præget dansk politik. Og så har chefredaktør Rune Lykkeberg en ros til oppositionen, som han håber holder sammen længe nok til at give regeringen en god gammeldags gang chokterapi. For det har den brug for.
Sjove og melankolske på samme tid - sådan beskriver Søren Ulrik Thomsen digtene af sin kollega, Henrik Nordbrandt, der døde i går. Søren Ulrik Thomsen fortæller, hvorfor Henrik Nordbrandts betydning - for ham selv og for digterkunsten - er uden sidestykke. Udfordret af regeringen, ser fagbevægelsen sig nu kaldet til at vende tilbage til den aktivistiske linje - med demonstrationer og aktioner. En linje, der enten kan føre til fornyet succes eller politisk udelukkelse. Tilrettelæggelse: Elise Normann, Emma Juul og Nickolaj Sander. Vært: Kirstine Dons Christensen.

Hablamos de dinero y conciencia de clase con Laura Carneros. La escritora malagueña nos presenta su ópera prima, Proletaria consentida (Ed. Caballo de Troya), en sus propias palabras, "un ensayo homeopático indeterminado, únicamente regido por el placebo de divagar” que nos ha gustado por su frescura y sentido del humor. Ignacio Elguero pone otros títulos sobre la mesa: César Vallejo en Madrid en 1931 y César Vallejo y la revista Cultura Infantil (Ed. Centro), dos estudios de Carlos Fernández y Valentino Gianuzzi sobre la figura del escritor peruano que ven la luz en el centenario de Trilce; La habitación vacía (Ed. Visor), poemario de Juan Vicente Piqueras distinguido con el Premio Hermanos Argensola 2022; y Blues, Jazz & Soul (Ed. Hiperión), antología bilingüe de canciones seleccionadas y traducidas por Alberto Manzano que nos permite degustar las letras de clásicos como Strange Fruit, Blue Moon, As time Goes By junto a las aportaciones al género de compositoras contemporáneas como Amy Winehouse o Norah Jones. Por su parte, Javier Lostalé nos invita a leer La sinfonía pastoral, reconocida nouvelle del Premio Nobel André Gide que acaba de reeditar el sello Menoscuarto con traducción de José Ángel Zapatero.

Lyt til Martin Krasniks prisnominerede samtale med digteren Henrik Nordbrandt fra november 2020. »Da coronaen ramte verden, ramte den mig midt i en krise,« fortæller Nordbrandt i samtalen om et helt livs dans med døden, om at blive mobbet hver dag i folkeskolen og om det mørke, der har plaget ham siden barndommen. Podcasten er nomineret til prisen for årets samtale i årets Prix Audio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Litteratur kender ingen grænser - hverken tidslige eller geografiske. Det ved ugens to gæster forfatter Thomas Boberg og digter Henrik Nordbrandt, som har boet, rejst og i det hele taget bevæget sig meget uden for Danmarks grænser. Samtidig sidder de begge i Det danske akademi - en institution, der arbejder for dansk sprog og ånd. Derfor taler de med vært Alberte Clement Meldal om nogle af de digte, der har betydet noget særligt for dem - og som de ligefrem selv har hentet hjem til Danmark fra det store udland. Men hvor sidder ånden? Vært Alberte Clement Meldal. Redaktion: Sidsel Finderup.
I troede, at vi ikke ville nå at optage i dag! Men det gjorde vi! Sagen er, at vi har fået hvalp og holy fuck, det er hårdt arbejde. Dagens afsnit er deprimerende - ikke kun pga Henrik Nordbrandt i lydprøven. Vi siger farvel til to af vores venner. Og Natasja marinerer i sorg. Napoleon er på vej hjem i minus 15 grader og ingen har sko på. Afmagt, afmagt, afmagt, fadeout.
Den afdøde lyriker, Michael Strunge sagde engang, at hvis man ikke kender sine digtere, kender man ikke sin sjæl. I programmet får du denne gang masser af sjælsføde, da vi bringer interviews med to af Danmarks fineste digtere; Henrik Nordbrandt og Marianne Larsen. De er begge aktuelle med nye digtsamlinger, hvis temaer bl.a. inkluderer 'barndom', 'alderdom' og 'erindring'. I udsendelsen bringer vi en samtale med Henrik Nordbrandt, der foregår i digterens lejlighed i København, mens vi har Marianne Larsen direkte med i studiet. Undervejs kan lytteren høre oplæsning fra Henrik Nordbrandts 'Så en morgen' og Marianne Larsens 'Den morgen jeg tilfældigvis ikke var et insekt i september'. Vært: Nanna Mogensen.
Har du hørt det? Der er en fejde i gang! En litterær en af slagsen. Og den handler om … Glostrup! For nylig lagde Gyldendals litterære chef, Simon Pasternak, et digt af Henrik Nordbrandt på Facebook som en lille appetizer op til udgivelsen af digterens nye digtsamling. Heri hedder det i de indledende strofer: »Der er ord, der er værre end ordet Glostrup.Der er steder, der er værre end stedet Glostrup.Der er dage, der er værre end den sidstedag i august på et busstoppestedlidt uden for Glostrup.« Det fik hans digterkollega Thomas Boberg til at reagere ved at skrive et moddigt om Glostrup i Information, der så igen fik hans kollega Morten Søndergaard til at svare med et digt, som så inspirerede forfatter Merete Pryds Helle til at give hendes poetiske Glostup-replik. Og denne fredag hører vi så fra en, der mener at vide, at Glostrup er et rigtigt sted, hvor folk faktisk bor. Sikke en fest, tænkte litteraturredaktør Peter Nielsen, der kommer i studiet og fortæller om den litterære fejdes dramaturgi. Jeg taler også med Christian Bennike i Bruxelles om Emmanuel Macrons kontroversielle lov om ’respekt for republikkens principper’, der blev vedtaget i den franske Nationalforsamling tirsdag. Loven blev udformet i efteråret og fik luft under vingerne, da historielæreren Samuel Paty i oktober blev halshugget på åben gade af en ung jihadist, fordi han havde vist tegninger af profeten Muhammed i sin undervisning. Loven er blevet kaldt racistisk af venstrefløjen og for blød af højrefløjen. Spørgsmålet er, om den overhovedet vil virke. Sidst, men ikke mindst, kommer Rune Lykkeberg i studiet og har sig en optur over menneskets evindelig søgen efter svar på de store mysterier, og at vi vil rejse med 20.000 km i timen for at finde dem.
»Da coronaen ramte verden, ramte den mig midt i en krise. Derfor følte jeg, at jeg blev særligt slået af sygdommen. Det har været som at befinde sig i en kiste, der blev snævrere og snævrere. Jeg følte, at det var naturligt, hvis sygdommen fik ram på mig. Jeg har ikke gjort noget særligt for at undgå at blive smittet.« Sådan siger digteren Henrik Nordbrandt i årets sidste udgave af Avistid. Hør samtalen med Nordbrandt, der fortæller om et helt livs dans med døden, om at blive mobbet hver dag i folkeskolen og om det mørke, der har plaget ham siden barndommen.

På albummet ‘Hjemløshed' har Nussbaum sat musik til en række tekster af Nordbrandt, der tematisk kredser om den aktuelle flygtningesituation, men på et overordnet plan handler om hjemløshed som tilstand. Det er stærk kost, men også smukt og skrøbeligt.‘Rockhistorier' bad dem hver især pege på nogle sange, der havde betydet noget særligt for dem, og fokus rettedes ikke overraskende mod Middelhavsområdet og det folkemusikalske. Både græsk, tyrkisk, algerisk og spansk musik indgik i en yderst afvekslende playliste, hvor der fandtes plads til afstikkere til Sverige, Frankrig, England, Ungarn og sågar DK. Værterne kom på skolebænken, mens gæsterne spillede inciterende sange med kunstnere, hvis navne ikke altid var lige til at udtale. Playliste:1. Nordbrandt & Nussbaum: Lille krigsbarn (2019)2. Steppeulvene: Itsi-bitsi (1967)3. Arif Sağ: Sari gelin (1996)4. The Beatles: Because (1969)5. Lille Bror Söderlundh: En valsmelodi (1942)6. Khaled: Didi (1991)7.

Henrik Nordbrandt husker sin fødsel. Han husker tyskernes bombardement af Shell-huset en time efter han kom til verden. Og som efterlod en baby i granatchok. Han husker angsten, da hans mor efterlod hans skrigende lillesøster, et spædbarn med kolik, på skrivebordet, mens de gik en tur omkring søerne. Han husker filmen om Auschwitz, synet af de udmagrede kroppe, som fik ham selv til at stoppe med at spise, indtil han seksten år gammel vejede 36 kilo trods sine 186 cm. Han husker psykiateren, der serverede selvmordet for ham som et eksistentielt valg. I denne uges Poesibogen fortæller Nordbrandt om sin autistiske hukommelse, den vilde væren i Mellemøsten, skriftens bydende nødvendighed, vreden mod verden, kongens foged og tilværelsens uventede forløsning i kærligheden.

Forsyth County, Georgia, at the turn of the twentieth century was home to a large African American community that included ministers and teachers, farmers and field hands, tradesmen, servants, and children. In 1912, three young black laborers were accused of raping and murdering a white girl. One man was dragged from a jail cell and lynched on the town square, two teenagers were hung after a one-day trial, and soon bands of white “night riders” launched a coordinated campaign of arson and terror, driving all 1,098 black citizens out of the county. In the wake of the expulsions, whites harvested the crops and took over the livestock of their former neighbors, and quietly laid claim to abandoned land. The charred ruins of homes and churches disappeared into the weeds, until the people and places of black Forsyth were forgotten. Blood at the Root: A Racial Cleansing (W.W. Norton and Company, 2016)in America is a sweeping American tale that spans the Cherokee removals of the 1830s, the hope and promise of Reconstruction, and the crushing injustice of Forsyth’s racial cleansing. With bold storytelling and lyrical prose, the author breaks a century-long silence and uncovers a history of racial terrorism that continues to shape America in the twenty-first century. Dr. Patrick Phillips tells Forsyth’s tragic story in vivid detail and traces its long history of racial violence all the way back to antebellum Georgia. Recalling his own childhood in the 1970s and 80s, Phillips sheds light on the communal crimes of his hometown and the violent means by which locals kept Forsyth all white well into the 1990s. Blood at the Root: A Racial Cleansing in America is Patrick Phillip’s first book of nonfiction. He is currently the director of the Writing Minor at Drew University, and teaches creative writing, literature, and literary translation. Phillips is also noted poet in addition to being a well-respected scholar. His Elegy for a Broken Machine appeared in the Knopf Poets series in 2015, and Phillips was named a finalist for the National Book Award in Poetry, was a past fellow of both the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggennheim Foundation. He is also the author of two earlier poetry collections, Boy, and Chattahoochee, and the translator of When We Leave Each Other: Selected Poems by the Danish writer Henrik Nordbrandt.

一首詩三月裏遲來的日子作者:Henrik Nordbrandt翻譯:北島日子沿著一個方向移動面孔逆流而行。他們不斷地互相借光。很多年後難以斷定哪些是日子哪些是面孔......兩者之間的距離似乎更難逾越一個個日子,一張張面孔。這正是我在你臉上所看到的那三月裏遲來的閃光的日子。選自《北歐現代詩選》一首歌I'll Be Seeing You / Billie Holiday題圖攝影:西桸歡迎關注公眾帳號:逸事WeChat ID: escapeintolife
