Kim Simonsen is a poet, publisher, curator and academic. His work is characterised by themes such as environmental philosophy and poetics, speculative realism, interspecies relations and ecocriticism. Simonsen’s latest poetry collection, The Biological Composition of a Drop of Sea Water Resembles the Blood in My Veins, was nominated for the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize in 2024. This collection, which deals with grief following the death of his father, will also be published in Estonian by Nordur (translated from Faroese by Andry Arro) and will be available for purchase at the event.
