Waking Dreams. Poem by Lilja Björnsdóttir from Þingeyri.
Lilja Björnsdóttir often identified with Þingeyri. She was born at Kirkjubók in Bæjarnes in Barðastrond on April 9, 1894. Her parents were Björn Jónsson, a farmer there, and Vigdís Samúelsdóttir. In 1895 the family moved to Hraun in Keldudalur in Dýrafjörður.
Lilja married Jón Erlendsson, a fisherman, and they started farming in Þingeyri. They lived there for almost thirty years. Then they moved to Reykjavík, where Jón died in 1948. They had eight children, six of whom survived: Ingibjörg, Hreiðar, Úlfljótur, Bjarni, Jóhannes and Gíslína.
Lilja began writing verses and poems at a young age, and her first book was published in 1935 in Ísafjörður. She paid for the publication herself, and due to financial difficulties, the circulation was very limited. Her second book was published in 1948 and also became popular, and finally the third was published in 1952.
Lilja died at Hrafnista on September 20, 1971.
