Poems by Guðmundur Frímann.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGuðmundur Frímann was born in 1903, he grew up in Hvammur in Langadalur but lived most of his life in Akureyri. His poems deal with the paths of his youth and Icelandic nature, but contemporary town and city life is far away. His stories confirm this choice of subject matter, they describe human life in the Icelandic countryside in the first half of the century. Guðmundur's work conveys that there is a poet who holds on to old traditions and lets innovations lie lightly.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGuðmundur's first book of poetry, Náttsólir, was published in 1922 and was a work in the neo-romantic spirit. This book received little attention, but that did not stop the poet from continuing to write, and in 1933 Úlfablóð was published. Four years later he published Störin syngur and in 1951 Svört verða sólskin. In these books of poetry there is no sign of a conflict taking place among the Icelandic people about how a poet should write. Guðmundur upholds the values ​​of tradition, writes in rhyme and uses stanzas and capital letters. \u003cb\u003eSöngvar frá sumarengjum\u003c\/b\u003e is considered by many to be Guðmundur's most magnificent work of poetry, in which he emerges as a fully formed poet. A collection of poetry translations, Undir bergmálsfjöllum 1958, followed closely behind, and in his last book of poetry he published more poetry translations along with original material. In 1959, a collection of translated short stories, Ástaraugun, was published, and he subsequently published original short stories and novels; Svartárdalssólin, Rautt sortalyng, Stúlkan úr Svartaskógi and Rósin frá Svartamó. Guðmundur Frímann received a writer's salary for years, received an honorary salary when it was first allocated from the Icelandic National Broadcasting Corporation's Writers' Fund, and enjoyed an honorary salary from the Akureyri Town Cultural Fund.","brand":"Bókin.is","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51126464610632,"sku":"OSC-17558","price":2900.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/4029\/9848\/files\/89964.jpg?v=1781876766","url":"https:\/\/www.bokin.is\/en\/products\/songvar-fra-sumarengjum-63505-17558","provider":"bokin.is","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
