Theis Ørntoft

Theis Ørntoft (født 1984) debuterede i 2009 med den usædvanligt stilsikre digtsamling Yeahsuiten. Debuten indbragte ham Danmarks største debutantpris Munch-Christensens Kulturlegat. Han har studeret Litteraturvidenskab ved Københavns Universitet og gik i perioden fra 2007 til 2009 på Forfatterskolen. Kort efter han dimitterede fra Forfatterskolen udkom Yeahsuiten på Gyldendal. Kun en enkelt anmelder brokkede sig over den unge digters lidt for smarte og alt for ungdommelige sprogbrug. Men som anmelder på Information Kamilla Löfström skrev i sin gennemgang af årets debutanter: ”Hvad er man da også for en sølle debutant, hvis ikke man kan få ophidset bare én kritiker med sin kække sprogbrug?”.
