Between Dream and Presence

Jan Jakob Tønseth / Torgeir Rebolledo Pedersen

Jan Jakob Tønseth made his debut in the 70´s - a liberatingly apolitical voice in a time when politics ruled - also in the domain of poetry. He is hard to place, a traditionalist on the threshold to modernism, a central lyrisist with the tendancy of surrealist rethorics. In 2017 he turns 70 years old, and we celebrate by publishing his collected poetry. In the afterword, Torgeir Rebolledo Pedersen gives us a presentation of the poet and his works.
