Brorsan, Krabban och Lädret

These poems sing of the countryside, of things passing away and of drinking and dancing, of a place's past, its loveliness and its squalor. They are rhymed, messy, earnest, comic and strange. Their central voice is Brorsan, whose ballads paint present-day Värmland among rusting machinery and the people left behind, in rhythms that echo older Värmland verse. He would like to raze the whole place to the ground, yet his view of existence holds the book together.
