The Mirror’s Memory

Norwegian title: Speilets hukommelse

Sigurd Helseth

The Mirror’s Memory is the manuscript author Sigurd Helseth handed in right before he passed away in 2021. This book also contains a collection of the poetry he left behind. The poems cover a range of topics, from the gaze of children and act of playing to the clear thoughts and calmness of the elderly. The book takes us on a journey through seasons and the rhythms of nature, considers birds in the sky and makes us feel the soil between our hands. All together the poems show off a poet with a strong mastery of language, form and imagery.
