Ivan’s Flowers

Norwegian title: Ivans blomster

Astri Kleppe

There are large spaces that open up in A. C. Kleppe's fifth collection of poetry. History, philosophy and science are natural entryways for this poet, who is not afraid to seem nostalgic either. The collection is a memorial work, based around her dead friend Ivan's life and family. The poems cross borders in Europe and are about everything that floats by – all the insights the flow of time contains.
