Barbarian in Paris is Thorunn’s third book of poetry. These Paris poems are inspired by the time that Thorunn and her partner Eggert Thor Bernhardsson spent on the banks of the Seine in the spring of 2013. Paris is viewed through the photographic eye of Eggert and Thorunn’s more historical view. The book is dedicated to Eggert (1958-2014).

“…marvelous reading, a complete and heartbreaking combination of pain and reconciliation.”
