Behind the Name
Lille Bønne is in an old Danish church, and Gruks (or Grooks in English) are short philosophical poems created by the Danish scientist, mathematician, and poet Piet Hein. They have an interesting history especially during wartime occupied countries. They were used to get messages out in print in a time when media was being censored.
