Malmö, Tallinn, Helsinki, Akureyri etc.
This coming thursday I will be reading in Malmö, Sweden, along with finn-swedish poet Cia Rinne and the nestor of swedish concrete poetry, Bengt Emil Johnson, as well as the poetrygroup 3 Advokater. Malmö Litteraturbar Stanza – Inkonst.com 26.03.2009 – at 8 pm
In spirit and likeness I will be in Akureyri, Iceland, on the third of april, performing poetry off a screen. Sharing the stage but not in disembodied presence will be Ingunn Snædal, Jón Laxdal and Þórarinn Eldjárn.
Next up is Poikki-taiteellinen kirjallisuustapahtuma or the cross artistic literary event at Korjaamo , Helsinki 04.04.2009, at 7 pm. Amongst others performing are Kati Neuvonen and Jani Sipila.
Onwards Helsinki – avant-garde apreciation night at the english bookstore Arkadia-bookshop – 07.05.2009, with Mathias Rosenlund, Pauliina Haasjoki, Mikael Brygger and Hannele Mikaela Tavaissalo et. al.
Still more Helsinki, two days later – the literary clique Uusälyttömyysl fawns performances at Ravintolalaiva Wäiskin keskibaari, Hakaniemenranta 11, 09.05.2009 7 pm
May – middlish – I will be at The Nordic Poetry Festival in Tallinn, Estonia – 12-16.05.2009.
In all probability there will be one more may-reading, at Vanha Ylioppilastalo (the old student house) on the 20th, but it’s yet to be confirmed.
The poetry translation part of my homepage has grown considerably, containing over one hundred poems I have translated.
A few poets have then been added to the series 25 Icelandic Poets – my translations of Icelandic poets into English.
