Hilde Charlotte Blomberg’s debut poetry collection My Dotted Sister is about learning to live with mental disorder. My Dotted Sister is a prose poem collection about longing, joy, loneliness, help, art, and cats. But mostly it’s about being oneself.

The plot?

It’ll be a terrific journey, all the way to Japan, looking for the famous Yayoi Kusama, with a mourning nurse called Grete tagging along.

The style?

Minimalistic, naïve, wild, imaginative, dreaming.

The inspiration?

Yayoi Kusama and her dotted universe. Art! The life of the artist! (Looking for a family, someone to be close to, is an important topic for the author.)

Loneliness, being different, being allowed to be different.
