Marte Huke

Marte Huke (born March 9, 1974 in Lørenskog near Oslo ) is a Norwegian poet .

Marte Huke grew up in Melhus near Trondheim , studied German and literature at the University of Bergen and also attended the so-called Skrivekunstakademiet (writing art academy) there. In autumn 2000 she enrolled in the two-year literary design course at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden .

Immediately after completing this degree, Huke made his debut with the cycle of poems Delta (2002; German translation 2019). Unsentimental, visually impressive natural poems in this volume trace the movement of a river and confront two languages: that of geography and love . Using the means of poetry, Huke examines the possibilities and limits of apparently heterogeneous sign systems - and last but not least, demonstrates the beauty of their mutual interpenetration. In cooperation with the musician Øyvind Brandtsegg , Huke later reworked the poems from Delta into a work for choir and computer , which had its world premiere in Trondheim in autumn 2002.

In her second volume of poetry, Se sol (literally: See Sun, 2004), a font theme reminiscent of Inger Christensen , among others, takes center stage, which began in Delta . After two further volumes of poetry - Ta i mot (literally: take receipt , 2008) and De fire årstidene (The Four Seasons, 2011) - her first novel was published in autumn 2015 with the title Naturhistorie (Natural History).

Marte Huke was involved in the organization of the Æ Å Trondheim Literature Festival from 2003 to 2009 . Today she lives in Trondheim and Berlin. She is a sister of the jazz vocalist Kirsti Huke .
