The book is a cooperation between me and Jón Örn Loðmfjörð, digital poet. Four poems have been posted, and several more are on the way (this is all reprogramming of my 2005 book, Blandarabrandarar. More information (in Icelandic) with the poems here.

I am on my way to Lithuania to participate in an event called Nordic Summer, and this year the theme is ‘The writer and rebellion’. The festival takes place in Vilnius, June 12-15.

In July I head for the Scream Literary Festival in Toronto, Canada. There I will participate in the rejuvenated reading series ‘Lexiconjury’, reading with Alixandra Bamford and Natalie Zina Walschots, and an unanounced cooperateur. More information on Scream can be found on their homepage.

Lastly, I’ve joined the publishing company Mál og menning (the biggest in Iceland). They will publish my forthcoming book of visual poems in the fall, and my translations of selected poems by Allen Ginsberg.

I’m excited. Then there’s Lithuania in June, for a few days, and a week and a half in Toronto in July. I’ll be finishing a book of visual poems, that’ll be accompanied by a CD with sound poetry, before mid-august, to hopefully be published in the late fall.

I should point out that Brandarablandarar, the digital version of Blandarabrandarar, is slowly but surely being posted on the Icelandic part of this page. The work is a collaboration between myself and Icelandic poet and programmer Jón Örn Loðmfjörð. Click here for Brandarablandarar, and the titles of the poems for a text about the work, and then the purple “hér” link for the poem itself.
