Stormwarning - Tómasdóttir, Kristín Svava

. .

Résumé :
Part lambasting of gender roles and capitalist absurdity, part investigation into human-nature relationships, Stormwarning is the third collection of poetry by Krist?n Svava T?masd?ttir. An up-and-coming poet in Iceland and abroad, T?masd?ttir imbues her work with dark humor and understated Scandinavian dread, playing with language and expectations to leave her reader in breathless anticipation of the coming storm.
