Kierkegaard’s Cupboard

Description

Mewn cyfres o gerddi 14 llinell, llwyddodd Marianne Burton i ddal llais yr athronydd Søren Kirkegaard o Ddenmarc i’r dim: ei ffraethineb deallusol, ei finiogrwydd, ei baradocsau, ei dosturi dwfn a’i bersonoliaeth fywiog. Mae’r ‘cwpwrdd’ yn y teitl yn cyfeirio at y man lle cadwai Kierkegaard lythyrau Regina, y cariad a daflodd o’r neilltu.
Marianne Burton brilliantly captures the voice of Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard: his intellectual wit, his pointed ways with paradox, his depth of feeling and compassionate, lively and sociable personality in this series of 14-line poems. The ‘cupboard’ of the title refers to where Kierkegaard kept letters from his spurned love, Regine.
