WHO IS WAITING FOR YOU REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE SAID SOFTER THAN WHAT YOU HAD THOUGHT BETTER THAN WHAT YOU COULD RECALL?

Your pillow
in the worn old cover
One big cheek
of embrace

HVEM ER DET SOM VENTER PÅ DEG UANSETT HVA DU HAR GJORT UANSETT HVA DU HAR SAGT MYKERE ENN DU HADDE TENKT BEDRE ENN DU KUNNE HUSKE?

Puten din
i det slitte gamle trekket
Et eneste stort kinn
av omfavnelse

Gro Dahle

(Norway, 1962)

Gro Dahle made her debut with the poetry collection Audiens (Audience) in 1987, and since then she has been one of Norway’s most influential poets. Apart from several poetry collections, she has written novels, short stories, radio plays, essays and children’s books. The last genre has become an increasingly larger part of Dahle’s literary pursuits in the later years.

MAMA, MAMA! MY BACK SHALL I CALL YOU. MY LARGE, BROAD BACK SHALL I CALL YOU.

LET’S SAY YOU STUFF YOUR MOTHER INTO A SUITCASE WHAT DO YOU GET THEN?

WHO IS WHISPERING IN THE BUSHES? IS IT YOU?

WHO IS TUMBLING SIDEWAYS ACROSS THE TABLE?

The river has no comfort to offer

Linnea lies ill beneath the tree
