KALEIDOSCOPIC FORESTS

by Rune Kjær Rasmussen

Release date: 1 October, 2023

RITONA is pleased to announce the publication of Kaleidoscopic Forests, a collection of 56 poems from Danish animist and poet, Rune Kjær Rasmussen.

“Imagine all the language you do not know about.
Hibernating everywhere around the world. Or in full speed. The claws
and the paws and the grabbers. The elements. Sunshine
finding its way to a snout, a pinecone, a beetle.

What kind of word is an animal to give to so many?”

Startling, playful, and profound insights drip from every leaf of Rasmussen’s work, refracting the everyday into an explosion of dazzling meaning.
