I’VE TRIED MAKING FRIENDS WITH ANIMALS

Norwegian title: Jeg har prøvd å bli venn med dyrene

Kjersti Bjørkmo

Kjersti Bjørkmo debuts with the poetry collection Jeg har prøvd å bli venn med dyrene. Here we're dealing with a very gifted poet.

A surprising and strong use of imagery characterises Kjersti's poems. When used to explore classic themes such as loneliness, alienation, memories and so on, the poems expand and give a nostalgic sense of poetic delight.
