I have recently published four poems in the anthology ‘Andersen is dead. Poetry lives’ (in Danish). I'm abouth finishing my second novel and writing on my third.

I read a lot and am especially excited about Haruki Murakami. Musically, I’m to Richard Wagner and Brian Wilson. And some in between - a.k.a. Lou Reed, Raveonettes, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Bjørn Eidsvåg, Trio Klezmer, Ellington, Trentemøller, etc.

Another interest is beer. I thus have membership number 57 with Danish Beer Enthusiasts. But I also like to drink a good glass of wine - preferably Italian. In addition, I run, meditate and practise Qi Gong and yoga.
