This book from one of the best poets around these days should be read by everyone who loves poetry. Not only are the poems good, but the stories that are being told are unique. Each poem takes you on a journey. The way Straumsvåg describe the enviroment in his poems set you into the scene on the first sentence and then you go for a ride. I often read one of his poems, close my eyes and see a short movie of what I just read. Pure magic.

Thanks for your comments, Frank. It's nice when a poem can stimulate a visual scene(s).
