She grew up in what she has described as a dysfunctional home with abuse and negligence. After high school, she moved to the capital, Nuuk, where she studied language, literature, and media at the university. Her award-winning short story, Du skal adlyde din mor (You should obey your mother), that dealt with physical violence and motherhood, was then chosen for the anthology Ung i Gr\u00f8nland &#8211; ung i\u00a0verden (Young in Greenland &#8211; young in the world) in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00f8rine Steenholdt writes in Greenlandic, her mother tongue. In 2015 her debut book, a short story- and a poetry collection called Zombiet Nunaat (Zombieland) was published. The book covers rape, suicide, cannabis-abuse, and violence. It was nominated for The Nordic Council Literature Prize in 2016 and translated into both Danish and Icelandic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet the author S\u00f8rine Steenholdt at the Nordic House\/\u00a0Tuesday 5 September at 7.30 p.m. Free entrance.
