The Copenhagen Review


Poetry
Marianne Larsen passed away yesterday, the second day of December, 2025. We brought her covid poem Brat opvågnen (Rude Awakening) in 2020, a great poem and gentle reminder that the “amiable injunction of our high commanders to keep away from each other” represented a level of danger that is in fact not to be fully comprehended. We will miss her keen eye and deft pen. - GW
