A song in the forest. A poem by Elín Eiríksdóttir from Ökrum.
A good copy, uncut and unbound. Signed by the author.
Elín Eiríksdóttir was born on October 26, 1900, in Ökrum á Mýrum, and grew up there. She married Pétur Söebeck and they had three daughters. They first lived in Akureyri, but moved to Copenhagen around 1930, where they lived for ten years. Elín died in Reykjavík on March 26, 1987.
Elín was widely read, had great storytelling skills and an interest in mystical matters. She wrote a lot but published little in her early life and is not included in Borgfirski ljóður, which was published in 1947. That year, however, her poem "If I Were an Angel" was published to the tune of Hallgrímur Helgason. Elín published a total of three books of poetry, all at her own expense. The first, Söngur í sefi, was published in 1955, Rautt lauf í mosa in 1958 and ten years later Skeljar á sandi in 1968. (www.skald.is)
