Sew Us into the Tablecloth

Norwegian title: Sy oss inn i duken

Eike Aalen Øi

Eike Aalen Øi makes his debut as a poet with the poetry collection Sew Us into the Tablecloth. The poems explore being in a privileged position while also remaining vulnerable. It’s about being part of the climate changes, but at the same time not really addressing it. The book is also an exploration of how identity is created through language and how language is shaped by identity, family, and upbringing.
