It falls. Poem by Bugði Beygluson.
Bugði Beygluson was the pen name of Steinar Sigurjónsson.
Steinar Sigurjónsson was born on March 9, 1928 in Hellissandur. He moved to Akranes at a young age and grew up there. Steinar learned printing at Hrappseyjarprent and Prentverk Akranes and graduated as a printer from the Akranes Industrial College in 1950. He worked full-time at his craft for several years but then turned to writing.
Steinar Sigurjónsson is one of the most important Icelandic writers of the second half of the twentieth century. His early works struck a tone that had not been heard before in Icelandic literature. The materials were new – the grey mold of the seaside village that stifles man’s desire for beauty – and the methods were the same: Steinar was in a way the pioneer of modernist storytelling in Iceland, but he was also a notable poet.
Steinar's first book, Here We Are, was published in 1955. His major works include Love Story, Mixed in with Black Death, Go Away from the Shadows and The Cellar. Steinar also wrote numerous plays and one-act plays, some of which have been performed on the radio. He wrote his works not only under his own name but also under the pseudonyms Steinar á Sandur, Sjónir Sandur and Bugði Beygluson.
