New Debut Poetry Collection

Author Høgni Mohr has recently released a 156 pages debut poetry collection, "Mær dámar ikki Høgna Hoydal" (I can't stand Høgni Hoydal). The poems are a reflection of the author's thoughts of and approach to the deadly sins. Høgni gives sinners a head and a tale. With humour, irony and own sense of justice he mocks authorities and sees it as his main duty to remove all imaginary obstructions between author and subject matter. The language style is by far wooden and worn out; it's flying and floating with ease. "Everybody thinks the same, which means that nobody thinks at all. To stirr the water and create a big wave, is just how I want to behave," says Høgni Mohr.
