PEN Translation Fund Grant Award
A pen is a common writing instrument that applies ink to a surface, usually paper, for writing or drawing. Early pens such as reed pens, quill pens, dip pens and ruling pens held a small amount of ink on a nib or in a small void or cavity which had to be periodically recharged by dipping the tip of the pen into an inkwell. Today, such pens find only a small number of specialized uses, such as in illustration and calligraphy. Reed pens, quill pens and dip pens, which were used for writing, have been replaced by ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, fountain pens and felt or ceramic tip pens. Ruling pens, which were used for technical drawing and cartography, have been replaced by technical pens such as the Rapidograph. All of these modern pens contain internal ink reservoirs, such that they do not need to be dipped in ink while writing. Types Modern Pens commonly used today can be categorized based on the mechanism of the writing tip and the type of ink: * A ballpoint ...

Alphabet (book)
''Alphabet'' is one of the most well-known poems of Inger Christensen, who was broadly considered to be Denmark's most prominent poet. The poem was originally published in 1981 in Danish as . An English language translation by Susanna Nied won the American-Scandinavian PEN Translation Prize in 1982. Structure ''Alphabet'' is a systematic poem, in which each of the fourteen sections of the poem is tied to a letter of the alphabet and the number of lines found in each section is dictated by the Fibonacci sequence. (The first section, "A", has one line. The last section, "N", has 610.) Themes ''Alphabet'' deals with themes of nuclear war and ecological devastation. As the poem progresses and each section lengthens, an increasing number of elements related to destruction, death, and ecological devastation are introduced. The sections progress through the alphabet, finishing on the letter "N", for nuclear destruction, suggesting a premature end to the enumeration of splendours. The u ...

A Requiem
The Music for the Requiem Mass is any music that accompanies the Requiem, a Mass in the Catholic Church for the deceased. It has inspired a large number of compositions, including settings by Mozart, Berlioz, Donizetti, Verdi, Bruckner, Dvořák, Fauré and Duruflé. Originally, such compositions were meant to be performed in liturgical service, with monophonic chant. Eventually the dramatic character of the text began to appeal to composers to an extent that they made the requiem a genre of its own, and the compositions of composers such as Verdi are essentially concert pieces rather than liturgical works. Common texts The following are the texts that have been set to music. Note that the ''Libera Me'' and the ''In Paradisum'' are not part of the text of the Catholic Mass for the Dead itself, but a part of the burial rite that immediately follows. ''In Paradisum'' was traditionally said or sung as the body left the church, and the ''Libera Me'' is said/sung at the burial ...

It (Christensen Book)
''It'' ( da, Det) is a 1969 book of poetry by the Danish writer Inger Christensen. The book focuses on social criticism, and lines from it have frequently been quoted in the Danish political discourse. It received the Gyldne Laurbær for best Danish book of the year. Reception The book was reviewed in ''Publishers Weekly'' in 2006: "Christensen's sprawling, cosmically ambitious, book-length poem became a national hit in Denmark soon after its 1969 publication, and it's not hard to see why. The segments' diverse shapes—prose litany, chiming quatrains, stuttering free verse, telegram, prose diary—show mastery enough for almost any taste, while the overarching ideology—liberation for the whole human person from institutions, laws, mere forms—perfectly fit the late '60s' radical mood. ... Susanna Nied, Nied (who also translated Christensen's ''Alphabet (book), Alphabet'') duplicates the Danish poem's mathematical schemes while also conveying its freshness and sense of freedom." ...
