About the author

Tor Ulven (1953–1995) was a Norwegian poet. He is considered one of the major poets of the Norwegian post-war era, and he won several major literary prizes in Norwegian literature.

His early works, consisting of traditional modernist verse poetry, were heavily influenced by André Breton and the surrealist movement. As the 1980s progressed he developed a more independent voice, both stylistically and thematically. The later part of his work consists mainly of prose. He committed suicide in 1995 in Oslo, the city where he was born.

Poems in Norwegian:

Om du var steinens ytterste
forvandling

og røpet litt
av dens ruhet

i stemmen?
-
Du trodde kanskje dette
var alt.

Vi skal skru deg
ned gjennom deg selv;

du skal si det
steinene vet

på norsk.

“Jeg ser døden/overalt. // Den sitter / i øjnene// Blikket er råttent. Klart. / Upolitisk.”
Great fucking stuff.
