SUMMARY:NEW SWEDISH POETRY
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 14 for a virtual book talk on Katarina Frostenson’s The Space of Time (Songs and Formulae)\, (Threadsuns Press\, October 2024) and Ann Jäderlund’s Lonespeech (Nightboat Books\, May 2024). Frostenson’s translator Brad Harmon and Jäderlund’s translator Johannes Göransson will be joined by moderator Robin Myers for readings and discussions.  \nWinner of the 2016 Nordic Council Literature Prize\, The Space of Time is an unsentimental and smoldering study of the ecological and utopic function of grief. Frostenson seems to speak to the universal orphan lost in the Open\, in the landscape\, in literature\, in bedwarmth\, and in lamentation.  \nIn Lonespeech\, Ann Jäderlund rewires the correspondence between writers Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan into a series of stark\, runic poems about the fraught act of communication and its failures. Forsaking her reputation as a baroque poet\, Jäderlund uses simple words and phrases in favor of an almost childlike simplicity\, giving her poems\, on first glance\, the appearance of parables: mountains\, sunlight\, rivers\, aortas. Upon closer inspection\, the poems glitch\, bend\, and torque into something else\, enigmatic and forceful\, lending them\, as Jäderlund says\, the force of “clear velocity.” \nRegister

SUMMARY:YOUR ABSENCE IS DARKNESS | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On January 14\, we’ll be discussing award-winning Icelandic novelist Jón Kalman Stefánsson’s Your Absence Is Darkness\, a spellbinding saga about the inhabitants of a rural community on the Snæfellsnes peninsula\, out now in translation by Philip Roughton. \nA man comes to awareness in a cold church in the Icelandic countryside\, not knowing who he is\, why he’s there or how he arrived\, with a stranger staring mockingly from a few pews back. Startled by the man’s cryptic questions\, he leaves—and plunges into a history spanning centuries. A city girl is drawn to the fjords by the memory of a blue-eyed gaze\, and a generation earlier\, a farmer’s wife writes an essay about earthworms that changes the course of lives. A pastor who writes letters to dead poets falls in love with a faraway stranger\, and a rock musician\, plagued by cosmic loneliness\, discovers that his past has been a lie. Faced with the violence of fate and the effects of choices\,  each discovers the cost of following the magnetic needle of the heart. \nIncandescent and elemental\, hope-filled and humane\, Your Absence Is Darkness is a comedy about mortality\, music\, and the strange salve of time. \n“Comparisons do not do justice to the complexity of Stefánsson’s book\, nor the uniqueness of his prose\, rendered here in a tumblingly beautiful translation by Philip Roughton” (Daniel Mason\, New York Times). \nRegister
