Mother When She Waves from the Train

Norwegian title: Mor når hun vinker fra toget

Emely Benedicte Kahrs

Emely Benedicte Kahrs’ poetry collection Mother When She Waves from the Train is about Nelly and her mother who live and eat and do their laundry together, about the need to break out, the fear of losing, dancing, falling in love, abortion pills, liberation. Nelly starts by writing poetry on napkins.
