BLOOD

‘BLOOD’ is a collection of poems written by Danish writer and art-educator R. Broby-Johansen (1900 – 1987). It was first published in 1922, for then the following day to be seized by the authorities and sentenced Broby to jail due to what at the time was considered profane content. Since, the poems have become legendary for their brutal expression. With this publication, the poems are for the first time translated from Danish to English, accompanied by an image appendix of photographs depicting the archive of Broby. The archive contain material for the work Broby would use the rest of his life on.
