The World of Poetry. Editors Ástráður Eysteinsson, Dagný Kristjánsdóttir and Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson.
In the World of Poetry there are 26 articles by an equal number of authors that shed light on poetry and poetic discourse, both ancient and modern. The book covers a wide range of topics in the world of poetry and discusses both Icelandic and foreign poetry from various perspectives. The book reflects the diversity of poetry. Here you can learn about free verse, mantras, the elegy form, travel poetry, nature poetry, regional poetry, poetry as a place of expression for memories, pain and comfort; also about various dimensions of modern poetry and its connection to tradition. It discusses female and male voices in poetry from various countries. Anglo-Saxon, German, Danish and Spanish poetry is included in addition to poetry in Icelandic, both in Iceland and in the West. Classical prescriptions for poetry are explored and people's ideas about artistic wholeness are explored. Sometimes the discussion is of a general nature, while other times individual poems are examined.
