Andrea Heiberg
I was so lucky to reach an American editor who edited my stories and she also had me introduced to Poetic Asides. There I met Andrea Porter from the UK who helped me get published. Last year Salt Publishing created “Next Stop: Sejer Island,” which is a collection of my short stories.
So from being a completely unknown Danish writer who writes in English, I become the Andrea Heiberg, the second Danish author who writes this kind of fiction directly in English – Karen Blixen being the first.
Here, on Poetic Bloomings, I enjoy poetry and the pulse of worldwide life.
Here you can read my short story “A Kingdom for a Kalashnikov”: http://www.belletrista.com/2011/Issue14/features_4.php
Here you can read a review: http://www.belletrista.com/2012/Issue15/reviews_17.php
Here you can see the opening of my short story “Where There is Fish, There is Hope” (scroll down): http://www.saltpublishing.com/books/smf/9781844718702.htm

Grandma?
Pa?
Na, I’m not old enough for anything
but

you love me, too,
I wish

that,
I’m twenty one,
always.

Oh, so they said you shouldn’t throw stones?
Oh, the saying with the glasshouse?
That’s a great one.
Yeah, great,

Prompt 44
DOING EUROPE

Rembrandt,

Genever for
Granddad,
lined up the stairs
for
Anne Frank,
picked a yellow
water bike and
pedalled through the canals
and
learnt how small
you are
among ocean going ships in

you wonder
how a gondolas
feels like
and
that’s when you reach out for your bag
to put a tick next to
Amsterdam,
Venice it is tomorrow.
Prompt 45
WHEN MOMS HEAR FOOTSTEPS BEHIND THEM IN DARK PLACES
This is not about breast feeding,
no,

dark

in a park
in order to come home
safe and sound
for her little baby.
Better safe than sorry

when a young man
claimed he’d been
attacked
by
a monster.
Prompt 46
TO BE REMINDED

Friday night silence
gives me freedom from existence
the stove hisses
because of the partly wet pieces
of wood.
The candle is almost burned down
the light flickers and is gone.
Friday night silence
enjoying the distant shine from the moon.
