POEM FOR BOYSAN YAKAR BY CLAUS ANKERSEN

HEY BOYSAN LETS GO HAVE A SMOKE AND A BEER

Fuck, Boysan

I thought you were on a selfie spree

with a dear lover, new hair or

one of those, oh boy, so boyinsan-ish

'wuhu, here's a diamond flash from a deep cave'

-ish

expressions you threw

like so many flame spears of life burning

through peoples eyes, lenses, screens, lost days and the whole

intercontinental

intersexual

inter

mingled timezone thingie you rode

like a twinsexed mercury high on a white winged horse

but, oh boy, wonderchild, Boysan

you fucking died, Boysan

riding a car on the freeway

and the selfie spree

pictorial tears of the left ones

screaming

for your presence, while you took off.

Could it be, Boysan

you took a detour, Boysan

up north to daneland, Boysan

where you once married

a worm and a bird

and stood up in high heels

in drag for the human right

to love freely

in the name of the most high

priestess, Boysan, princess, Boysan

after we shared a bottle of scotch

with the resident priest, Boysan

because it was too cool for fanatic school

Boysan

Are you sitting next to me now

watching me write this tribute

smoking

smiling

stroking my hair

waving it all off

basking on

in the sunlight, Boysan

forever

brother from another mother

let's go have a smoke and a beer.

LONE HØRSLEV

Drawing by Anne-Marie Steen Petersen

Lone Hørslev is a black magic woman, who with her magic pen can write any kind of format. May it be melancholic existencial love poetry like it was gong out of style, a 50% Shades of Grey kind of historical power novel, or clever lyrics to her own band, along with several collaborations. It seems she has her Danish fanbase in her spell, and they wait patiently for her next adventures into Danish liretature history as one of the cool female writers og this time.

Lone was as part of her band Mouritz/Hørslev Project, part of The Triangle Project in 2009, at Scandinavian House on Park Avenue and at the legendary showcase "Neke Carson Presents at Gershwin Hotel".

JACOB HALLGREN

Jacob Hallgren had his theater debut at age 3 during the opening night of August Strindberg’s “Miss Julie”. In all fairness not as an actor but because he thought the nice lady on stage would give him ice cream. But the love for performance stuck with him even though it would be another 25 years, before he tried his luck as a spoken word poet and poetry slam master. 



Besides winning the audience award at the “Day of Poetry” with more the 100 poets participating, in 2006, he is the 2012 Danish national poetry slam champion (above video), he has had a term as resident summer poet on national Danish radio, created the avant-garde food and poetry performence “The Fruit & Flesh Show”, Jacob has participated in documentaries, various installation and crossover art projects and is founder of the “Association for Better Pornography” witch insured a couple of months of national notoriety.
