Sprek af reka. Icelandic translations. Translated by Þorsteinn Gylfason.
The publisher's introduction states: "Thorsteinn Gylfason's poetry translations are incredibly diverse. This book features many pearls of world literature by poets such as Goethe, Lucretius, Burns, Whitman, Yeats, Rilke, Brecht, TS Eliot and Dylan Thomas, to name a few."
There are song lyrics to which famous songs have been set, and there is also the wit of Tom Lehrer. In all cases, the translator has chosen to include the originals of the poems so that readers can have fun comparing them with the translations of the poems. At the end of the book there is a detailed afterword in which Þorsteinn explains these poets and the inspiration for each poem."
