Limrur by Kristján Karlsson.
Limra has long been considered an unceremonious form and has been accompanied by ugly language and vulgar thinking. Its respect has, however, increased in recent years, although it has lost none of its frivolity. Here is a collection of clever and unceremonious limra by one of the masters of this form in Icelandic, Kristján Karlsson. There is no recipe for limra, - but in our conversation with Kristján he pointed out to me that it requires breaking an egg. First, what is self-evident is told, and then the legs are pulled out from under it, so that nothing remains but uncertainty. This explains why limra is in opposition to traditional poetry. It betrays the conclusion and story and disappears in a flash. From the foreword by Halldór Blöndal. (Bókatíðindi 2005).
