Hardback

There is a room inside me that is empty

Norwegian title: Det fins et rom i meg som står tomt

Linda Klakken

Linda Klakken´s fourth book is a collection of existential love poetry, at times tormented and dark, but also with the bright, stellar relationship between her and her. Both having and not having each other. Knowing that it could have happened, and that it never will happen. An impossible future caught in a hopeless now; an empty room inside you. The poems are short, simple and energetic, with strong and quivering imagery. Allen Ginsberg once said that his poems are naked. When he was asked by a person in the audience what he meant by that, he got undressed as an answer. These poems are also naked. But we are not taking questions from the audience.
