Tvífundnaland is the twelfth book of poems by Gyrðis Elíasson, who has long been one of the nation's leading poets. A new book of poems from him is always in the news. Emotions are written here, the rich inner life of the mind, but last but not least, there are impressive poems about nature.

DOUBLE BOOK EDITION

The book was published together with the short story collection Milli trjánna.

Bright and effective fiction, adorned with the imagery that characterizes Gyrðis Elíasson's work, is mixed here with humor and natural lyricism of various kinds, with warm feelings and fear that is closer to the surface than often before.

Gyrðis Elíasson's world of poetry is both vast and intimate. There, inner and outer forces, dream and reality, words and actions overlap. Man's life in a fleeting world is now as before the main subject of the poet and the subjects are endless. Forty years have passed since Gyrði's first book of poetry, Svarthvít axlabönd, was published. In this handsome poetry book, over 200 new and fresh poems are published that are relevant to our time.
