His poems make you forget what poetry is. Bernlef's secret is in the way he looks at things. His attention to the ordinary, to the marginal, the so-called extra literary has not only enlarged the realm of the poetic but challenges the hierarchies and preconceived notions about what is or is not considered literary. -- Dutch critic Hans Kloos
"I embrace the words like smoke

not because I love them
but because they're in my way
and no avoiding it.
With my nose pressed against a word
the typesetting comes loose
and I get entangled in the moustaches
and beards of words."
