Publisher's Synopsis

"A Flame is Burning (Der brænder en Ild) was first published illegally in 1944, by the underground publisher Folk og Frihed (Folk and Freedom). At that time, only one of the seventeen contributors was named. Hans Kirk, for his poem "Western Prison" (Vestre Fængsel). Hans Kirk had been arrested earlier, and sent to Hørserød, but he had escaped and was out of the country when this book was first published. Naming the other authors could have led to their arrest, and possibly to their death. The book was republished by Gyldendalske Nordisk Forlag in 1945, after the defeat of Nazi Germany."--.
