Praise for Praise for Morten SØndergaard:

For now we have, and a collection of poems so worthy of your attention and attachment that it bears repeating again and again, with rising urgency, how good this book is.
– Seth Abramson, Huffington Post

Morten Søndergaard carefully brushes the lint off our shoulders, then crouches behind the controls of his poems and does everything to dislodge us from our feet. As doomful and slapstick as Beckett, he gives voice to the ground we stomp all over, and the stuff aside from people that peoples our world.
– Stuart Ross

That everyday life would find its way into Søndergaard’s poetry was demonstrated by his earlier masterpiece Vinci, Later. Now it has come to stay. A Step in the Right Direction is not just a step forward, but a giant leap into a much larger realm for this poet. It is, without having to say much else, an instant classic.

With Morten Søndergaard, you find yourself in a world of wide open curiosity. You are travelling, you are on the move, and yet Søndergaard’s poems are like statues carved in Italian marble.
– Bjorn Breden, Politiken

Morten Søndergaard stands out as the heir to Inger Christensen. If one argues that a poet's primary task is to walk out into the world with eyes wide open and pass on impressions and thoughts through a tireless linguistic curiosity prism, then Morten Søndergaard’s A Step in the Right Direction is the work of an exemplary poet.
