Birte Olsen

Sisimiut, Kalaallit Nunaat

Birte Olsen, 28, (they/them), is a poet from Sisimiut, Kalaallit Nunaat. Growing up queer in a small community has instilled in them a critical perspective on their surroundings and fueled a profound exploration of self-identity.

Now based in Nuuk, Birte crafts poetry in Kalaallisut, weaving words into a tapestry of self-reflection and introspection. Their work not only mirrors their own journey but also invites readers to embark on their own paths of interpretation and understanding.
