Description

Splendid and surprising prose poems from one of Norway's most imaginative poetsThe sixty-one prose poems collected in The Mountains of Kong find magic in the little absurdities of everyday life and are populated by an unpredictable cast that includes kings and codfish and elephants, a couple looking for a surrogate for their tears, and a lemming on the run.Presented here in both English translations and their original Nynorsk, and with an introduction by acclaimed poet Stuart Ross, Straumsvåg's poems are a new kind of map that will deliver you to places you've never imagined.
