Big Oil Tankers

Poetry (2017)

Winner of the Tómas Guðmundssonar Poetry Prize.
Nominated for The May Star Poetry Prize.

“Big Oil Tankers is a strong and beautiful work. The poems are clean and the imagery crisp and riveting. The work as a whole is skillfully constructed and calls for multiple readings; the big oil tankers sail into and out of the readers consciousness and leave behind delicate tracks of emotions, covering everything from melancholy and regret to modest jubilation.”

– from the selection committee‘s statement.
