Congratulation to Lív Maria Róadóttir Jæger

We are happy to announce that Lív Maria Róadóttir Jæger has been awarded the M.A. Jacobsen's Award for literature for her poetry collection "Eg skrivi á vátt pappír" at a ceremony today. In their motivation the committée says that; "the poetry collection is innovative both in form and content. The world is full of experience-based phenomena which are portrayed in a very poetic manner through biographical events and descriptions of nature, behaviour and teenage years. Some poems are imageries while others are matter-of-fact quotes of the grandmother or other poets. This gives the collection a broad perspective and adds additional meaning and variation to the everyday language used". The collection has eight chapters, and in each new chapter a new form and style is presented. "Eg skrivi á vátt pappír" is Jæger's second poetry collection and was published in August this year by Forlagið Eksil.
