Two books, two readings & a CD

Two books out, very recently. First: Ú á fasismann - og fleiri ljóð, 20 visual poems and 20 sound poems (book + CD) out from Mál & menning. Then Maíkonungurinn, Allen Ginsberg selected and translated into Icelandic, also published by Mál & menning. They’re out in Iceland, and as I am in Finland, I’m still waiting for them to arrive in the mail.

Also performed at the Helsinki Book Fair and the Turku Poetry Week. I’m waiting to receive recordings from the latter event and will post them when they arrive.

The 4th International

4th international Nýhil Poetry Festival was a hootenanny with Ida Börjel, Ann Cotten, Sureyya Evren, Hanno Millesi and Nina Sös Vinther - as well as 12 Icelandic superpoets. My reading went more or less as planned - but immediately afterwards I got crazy-flu and’ve been caughing houses and midgets since saturday. You can witness my baboonishness here.

Next up is a book of visual poems and sound poems (on CD), out in a few weeks.
