Cut Up Poetry

Authors and poets Christian Bjoljahn, Mette Moestrup, and Lars Bukdahl had turned one pavillion on City Hall Square into a Cut Up Poetry salon today during the Hopenhagen Live! cultural events. In the most loyal support to the recycling efforts to save the global climate.

With a pot of freshly cut, crude words, scissors, glue, and imagination at free play they cut up words and sentences from old poems, newspapers, encyclopedia, and excerpts from the Kyoto protocol on climate from 1997 they invited visitors to recycle words and turn them into new poems. In the very best David Bowie song writing tradition.

The reconstructed poems will be glued to posters. And tonight during a reading session they will be read to visitors at an original performance.
