Selected Icelandic poems. Selected by Guðmundur Andri Thorsson.
This book contains selected Icelandic poems, but it does not contain a selection of Icelandic poems. These are not the best poems that have ever been written in Icelandic – just a small sample of the great wealth of poetry that we have. All of these are old and classic Icelandic poems that belong here in conversation and even rebuttal, because the poems are arranged in content and not in chronological order or by author.
Here are poems from the earliest times to the 20th century; they range from the gray antiquity of the Eddic poems to the last poets in this country who wrote their poems largely untouched by the formal revolution of the 20th century.
The plot is narrow in this kind of poem, as it was intended to be left somewhere in a good place where it is good to have a poetry moment with oneself, leaf through it, read something beautiful and good, let the magic that hides between the lines of our old poems flow to one.
