Doverodde

‘Despite the relative isolation of Doverodde, there was always something happening to justify walking away from my studio for a few moments – a boat launch, a flower market, a disagreement between dogs. I began to collect notes about my daily experiences in the village...’

Doverodde shelters in an oxbow on the Limfjord, a glacial channel separating North Jutland from mainland Denmark. Nancy Campbell was Writer-in-Residence in Doverodde during the the Doverodde Book Arts Festival in May 2012.

The theme for the Festival was On The Margins (or 'Udkant' in Danish). Nancy’s prose sketches were published daily online for Doverodde’s residents and more distant friends. This selection from those writings provides a dose of life on the margins of Denmark.
