Gerdur Kristny has long been one of Iceland’s most popular poets, with a unique feeling of her own for the nuance of the language.
Her poetry volumes Bloodhoof, Drápa – A Reykjavik Murder Mystery and Reykjavik Requiem were received with admiration and interest, not least for their compelling subject matter and innovative presentation, and a new volume of Gerdur Kristny’s verse never fails to be the best kind of news.

Earthlight is Gerdur Kristny’s 10th book of poetry.

“I am a huge fan of Gerdur Kristny‘s poems. …
She is an absolutely fantastic poet.”
