Let´s never forget how good it feels to be alive

Norwegian title: La oss aldri glemme hvor godt det kan være å leve

Sarah Zahid

The debut of Sarah Zahid is the story of Norwegian Pakistani Sarah from Holmlia and Bjørndal. Poems about family life and coming of age. Poems about school and holidays. About a dawning life as a grownup. Poems from suburban streets and city streets. Popular culture and national culture. About norms, freedom and belonging.

More is keeping us apart than holding us together, that is the general picture that the international news are feeding us these days. Sarah Zadid opposes this. Luckily. Without the poems ever becoming naive. They are rather multifarious and basically democratic.
