Among the foremost of the younger poets is Janus Kodal. Nothing lasts, they say, but it can also be taken quite literally, in the sense that only duration remains of things. But duration points to beginnings and endings, birth and death, and it is between these poles that the poem stretches.

Janus Kodal, born 1968, was only 20 when he was accepted by the noted Copenhagen School of Creative Writing, at which time he moved to that city. At the age of 23 he published his first collection, Antologi (1991) with the renowned publishing house Gyldendal. Two years later he received a national grant to write his second book, the long poem ingentings mestre (masters of nothing/nothing's masters), which has been described by some critics as the first major work of young Danish poetry. During the mid-1990s Kodal widened his knowledge of world literature through his editing of Copenhagen-based magazines Banana Split and The Blue Gate. He was responsible for the presentation of an array of voices in Copenhagen, including Gennadi Aygi, John Ashbery, Andrej Bitov, Haraldo de Campos, Michael Palmer, and Rosmarie Waldrop.
