The Blood in the Head

Norwegian title: Blodet i hodet

The blood in the head is our thoughts, in a human understanding. It is a part of our vulnerable physical organism, but also a precondition for our rationality, what separates us from the mechanical and animal. Like the humans surrounding us the thoughts are our salvation and curse. The combinations of wordsare not enough,they are only pointing out of the head,or is it inWish thatI could master shapes and coloursThen I could really see and understandSindre Andersens poems are full of humour and nerves, portraying man as a thinking and social being, about language as limitation and solace.
