Katrine Marie Guldager has written in poetry and prose and has proven herself in both genres to be a pioneering, form-shattering, poetic original. Guldager received a graduate-level degree in Danish from the University of Copenhagen in 1994 and made her debut that same year with her collection of poetry, Dagene skifter hænder (The Days Change Hands).
