He has studied literature, graduated from Forfatterskolen and has received prestigious Danish awards: Munch-Christensen&#8217;s Culture Grant, the Michael Strunge Award and Klaus Rifbjerg&#8217;s Debut Award.<\/p>\n<p>\u00d8rntoft debuted with his naughty and stylish poetry collection <em>Yeahsuiten<\/em> (2009). The poems are characterized by attitude and youthful supremacy, and \u00d8rntoft draws on the youth&#8217;s language usage, everyday life and cultural references. He combines the youth culture with a literary-historical consciousness, which is also seen in his poetry collection<em> Digte 2014<\/em>, where he again draws on some of the literary history&#8217;s heavy boys, e.g. Adam Oehlenschl\u00e4ger and Johannes V. Jensen. \u00d8rntoft has truly established his name as one of the great voices within the newer Danish poetry. But both in <em>Digte 2014<\/em> and the debut novel<em> Solar<\/em> (2018), the naughty and youthful, however, are replaced by feelings of powerlessness and subversion. His auto fictive novel is about a poet named Theis, who moves cynically observing through a messy and rootless life, first on the ancient Danish road H\u00e6rvejen, later in Copenhagen&#8217;s nightlife and even later in Southern Europe&#8217;s rogue bodegas. A desperate, dystopian generation novel and a hallucinated road trip.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Kasper Vang<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/letterstedskapforeningen.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19783 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/letterstedskapforeningen.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"379\" height=\"110\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 379px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 379\/110;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The event begins at 19:30 and everyone is welcome as long as there is room.
