New Poetry Collection

"Sólgarðurin" is the title of the new poetry collection by Beinir Bergsson. "Sólgarðurin" (The Sun Garden) is both a tangible and imagined place where the reader meets the grandparents of the narrator and a great variety of plants, vegetation and tender moments longing for brighter days. The narrator reflects on the loss of the father and on erotic love between two men. The poems travel back and forth in time and the atmosphere is peaceful and sincere but with a sense of longing for dear ones who have passed away.

Beinir Bergsson made his debut in 2017 with the poetry collection "Tann lítli drongurin og beinagrindin" for which he won the EBBA Award the following year, and it has been published in Iceland and Greece. "Sólgarðurin" is published by Forlagið Eksil and available in book shops now.
