My latest poetry collection, Vetur, has found a home with US-based publisher Hyldyr, under their division Rydlyh, and is available as a digital book on their website and Etsy store. Print copies are forthcoming.
Conceived during a winter residency at Gröndalshús in Reykjavík, Vetur is a gathering of voices shaped by the long dark of winter in Iceland, from Grýla, the infamous child-eating ogress, to a starving Pagan settler and a foreign poet adrift and in search of belonging in the Far North. Interweaving folklore, history, cultural observations and personal reflection, Vetur explores, with fierce wonder and intimate introspection, the tensions between survival and surrender, tradition and transformation, in a season as beguiling as it is brutal, where borders between the mystical and mundane shift and merge.
