The Mountains of Kong New and Selected Prose Poems

<p><b>Splendid and surprising prose poems from one of Norway's most imaginative poets</b></p><p>The sixty-one prose poems collected in <i>The Mountains of Kong</i> find magic in the little absurdities of everyday life and are populated by an unpredictable cast that includes kings and codfish and elephants, a couple looking for a surrogate for their tears, and a lemming on the run.</p><p>Presented here in both English translations and their original Nynorsk, and with an introduction by acclaimed poet Stuart Ross, Straumsvåg’s poems are a new kind of map that will deliver you to places you’ve never imagined.</p>
