“In her poems, Gerdur connects the forces of nature to humans and the history of the nation. … At times, the reader will truly shiver a bit when reading Gerdur’s realistic descriptions of nature and climate. … Remarkable among equals. With this book, Gerdur Kristny displays her talents and we get to understand why she is considered one of the most powerful contemporary poet among Icelanders. The poems are convincing and riveting, and they form a very harmonious whole.”
