New from Tóroddur Poulsen

Tóroddur Poulsen is back with a new poetry collection called “Allir luktir örkymla mín staðarsans” which translates to: All smells disturb my sense of place. As the cover indicates it is a very abstract collection.

Tóroddur masters the art of creating surreal images from dreams, but he also conjures strange visions from observations of everyday life like in the poem where rocks move in the dark when the stone fetcher comes sneaking. Stones have always been present in Tóroddur’s poems which often revolve around elements like mould, water and air but also about wind, light and darkness. He also writes about smell and about smelling and sniffing and getting lost in one’s own smell.

The collection is Poulsen’s 49th publication and it is published by Sprotin.
