The Mountains of Kong

A collection of sixty prose poems penned by Norwegian poet Dag T. Straumsvg and presented in Nynorsk and English, The Mountains of Kong navigates surprising and unfamiliar landmarks to deliver drive-by observations about the playful joys of discovery, of imagination, and the immemorial spirit of the creative journey. Populated by an odd and unpredictable cast of characters that includes kings and codfish and elephants, a couple looking for a surrogate for their tears, and a lemming on the run, Straumsvgs poems are a new kind of map that will deliver you to places youve never imagined.
