Jag lyfter in morgonen
innanför nattlinnet,
en valp eller ett människobarn,
någon att trösta
och frihetsberöva,
ett sömnigt
hulkande djur
Swedish poet Agnes Gerner has published a new collection of poems entitled "Tulpaner" (Albert Bonniers Förlag, 2024).
It is a collection of poems about life and survival, about motherhood and motherlessness, about a birth that emphasises a loss.
The book cover is illustrated with a pastel painting by Åsa Magnusson.
Björn Kohlström (teacher of Swedish and English literature at Per Brahegymnasiet in Jönköping) has recently published on his blog Bernur a review of Agnes' collection of poems.
