About the author

Lagerkvist was born in 1891 in southern Sweden. In 1910 he went to Uppsala as a student and in 1913 he left for Paris, where he was exposed to the work of Pablo Picasso. He studied Middle Age Art, as well as Indian and Chinese literature, to prepare himself for becoming a poet. His first collection of poetry was published in 1916. In 1940 Lagerkvist was chosen as one of the "aderton" (the eighteen) of the Swedish Academy.

Lagerkvist wrote poetry, novels, plays, short stories and essays. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1951 "for the artistic vigour and true independence of mind with which he endeavours in his poetry to find answers to the eternal questions confronting mankind."

Ångest är en kort diktsamling av Per Lagerkvist, från 1916. Titeln stämmer: det hela kretsar kring kall ångest, i en hård och fientlig värld.

Den skrevs under pågående första världskrig, vilket onekligen satt stämningen.

Enligt Wikipedia räknas detta till ett av Lagerkvists framstående verk. Bitvis är det ett rätt starkt bildspråk, men överlag tycker jag väl att det är sådär. Kanske är det för abstrakt, kanske förstår jag inte kontexten, kanske dikter om ångest helt enkelt inte berör mig speciellt. Men det är en kort samling (16 sidor), så den är nog värd att läsa ändå, om inte annat än för att den är känd.
