Nominated for the 2021 Nordic Council Literature Prize, MY JEWEL BOX (Mit smykkeskrin) marks the final installment of Ursula Andkjær Olsen's visionary trilogy, a "fairy tale of the universe" investigating grief, bodies, motherhood, and the physical and economic inequalities of modern planetary life. Rendered into diamond-sharp English by award-winning translator Katrine ÿgaard Jensen, MY JEWEL BOX mounts a cosmically human (and non-human) re-approach to a grief-stricken earth, a place of all times entangled. Poetry. Women's Studies.

Poetry. Women's Studies. Translated from the Danish by Katrine Øgaard Jensen. With black humor and cutting logic, THIRD- MILLENNIUM HEART explores the confounding nature of power and desire, the problem of asserting a feminist alternative without recapitulating patriarchal power structures: "The goal is to weaken every trace of odor. It will cost me my victory scent." Yet Olsen's ambivalence entails an embryonic potential: uncoupled from all normative arrivals, her syntax sprouts with mutant possibility, one nimbly conveyed by translator Jensen's flexible touch. From the darkness of this "comajubilation," in a stutter-step of declarations and retractions, THIRD MILLENNIUM HEART is a work of radical re- conjuration: "Together we will beat / in the great DELTA." A co-publication with Broken Dimanche Press (Berlin).
