Martin Glaz Serup

Martin Glaz Serup was born in Copenhagen in 1978, where he currently lives with his family. He has published five chapbooks, eleven children’s books, a book-length theoretical essay on poetry and relational aesthetics, and seven volumes of poetry. His poetry has been translated and published in Germany, Sweden, Finland, the United States, Mexico, and is forthcoming in Greece. His latest book, Reading Places (2018), is creative nonfiction dealing with place, memory, and reading—an odd autobiography as a reader. The book has just been accepted for publication in the United Kingdom and Finland. In 2015 he was awarded a PhD from the University of Copenhagen for his dissertation, Cultural Memory and Conceptual Witness Literature. Serup has been editor of several Danish and Nordic literary magazines and is blogging at the really old-school blog: Kornkammer. Currently Serup teaches poetics and creative writing at the University of Copenhagen and at the Writer’s School for Children’s Literature at Aarhus University.
