Tal och regn

Expansive poems, at once playful and severe, open into dialogue with everything around and break up into light, puzzling fragments. Clear sounds from the speaker's daily life meet satire aimed at the nation, and unlikely pairings sit side by side: past and present, famine and joy, mud and emeralds. Dry insights come in high spirits, and a smile can turn into a grimace at any moment.
