Inside Voices, Outside Light

This bilingual book presents poems from Pálsson's ten collections written between 19802008. Swirling with imagery, they reveal a poet committed to unearthing the joy of living connected to the natural world. For Pálsson, poetry contains such energy and force to upset chronology, ideas run amok, views close and open. Space is compressed so the various fabrics of the world are folded into each other, creating a causal layering of the natural and manmade. This is a thrilling sweep across this poet's work.
