Norwegian: «En av de mest vellykkede og gripende diktsamlinger jeg har lest på lenge. Diktene er tilsynelatende enkle, men stor kunst tilstreber enkelhet, slik alt i utgangspunktet komplisert gjør det. Diktene er opplevde, det vil si forfatteren har erfaringer, altså noe viktig å skrive om, og kaster ikke bort tiden på tomme ord. Til slutt: Dette er en sjeldent god bok, les den!» Kolbein Falkeid.

 

Translation to English: "One of the most successful and poignant collections of poems I have read in a long time. The poems are apparently simple, but great art strives for simplicity, as everything that is fundamentally complicated does. The poems are experienced, that is, the author has experiences, i.e. something important to write about, and does not waste time on empty words. In conclusion: This is a rare good book, read it!" (Kolbein Falkeid: Author of over thirty titles, including «Gjest» and “Horisontene” Kolbein Falkeid is a Norwegian poet and lyricist. He is one of the most widely read contemporary Norwegian poets; known for a lyrical poet's voice that is at once philosophical and approachable).
