Synopsis

Stein Mehren, Norwegian poet and playwright, writes in the language of the heart, weaving his themes and imagery into a kind of baroque music, in poems that swell and fall like symphonies. Writing about love and desire, and the despair that often attends them, he weaves together classical love stories and intimate expressions of love in daily life to create a tapestry of the strongest human emotions.

À propos de l'auteur

Stein Mehren (1935-2017) lived in Oslo, Norway. Within Scandinavia he is highly regarded as an outstanding poet and an accomplished essayist. The author of over forty works of poetry, Stein Mehren has aptly been called a poet of light, the stars, eternity and love. His deepest concerns are about man’s place in nature, life and death, and the storms of the heart. He has received countless awards for his work in Scandinavia, including the Norwegian Academy's Literature Prize. Only some of his poems have been published in English translation; one such is Gordon Walmsley’s translation of nine poems in an anthology of Nordic poets, Fire and Ice (Salmon Publishing, 2004).
