Poems by Jonathan Benediktsson.
Ljódsvipir is Jónatan Benediktsson's only book.
In the newspaper Degi, August 12, 1925, there is a discussion of Ljóðsvipir. It says: - Ljóðsvipir is a small book of poems, recently published, by Jónatan Benediktsson of Breiðaból. It contains a collection of short stories and short poems on 64 pages. The material is mostly everyday and not remarkable, as it barely fits into poetic rhythms. In many places, the material is messy and not all of it is handled skillfully. The book is coherent, as in the poem Political Marriage Ceremony in the verse Obtórmæli and elsewhere, and is skillfully written. However, there is a lot of slang so that there are slang and slang, grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. For example, words like hver and hvar are written with a k because of the suffix. The author is one of those young poets who underestimate their abilities and lack the prudence and modesty to wait with this marketable product, in case maturity gives them a little more taste. Many of them spoil their reputation at a young age by publishing poor and useless books. In fact, one is rarely spoiled much, because poets do not often think so blatantly of their own work. But one has more reason to blame the author of these poems than many others, and even less, because he must nevertheless be considered a good poet.
