Biography
Asta Olivia Nordenhof is a Danish poet and novelist born 28 January 1988. She studied at the Danish Academy of Creative Writing and taught there from 2015–2022. Her debut novel Et ansigt til Emily (2011)—a patchwork narrative about love between two women—won the Munch-Christensen's Debutant Prize. In 2013, her poetry collection Det nemme og det ensomme earned critical acclaim and the Montanas Literary Award, with translations to Norwegian, Swedish (Modernista), and English (Open Letter Books). Her breakthrough came with the 2020 novel Penge på lommen, the first installment of a septology titled Scandinavian Star, named after the MS Scandinavian Star ferry that caught fire on 6 April 1990, killing 159 people. Penge på lommen won the P.O. Enquist Prize in 2020 and the EU Prize for Literature, sold to eight territories, and received a Nordic Council Literature Prize nomination in 2021. As a writer, Nordenhof works across genre and form—poetry, novels, and serialized narratives—exploring intimacy and historical trauma. An Aquarius, she brings intellectual rigor to emotionally layered narratives.
