Selected Poems

Unknown Author

Description:One of Norway's outstanding poets, Olav Hauge was born in 1908; as Robin Fulton tells us in his introduction to this selection, Hauge has spent the bulk of his life in his native Ulvik, a small community among the fjords of Western Norway. Hauge's training as a gardener joins with his attention to the beauties and rigors of his native landscape to inform his work with the strengths and delicacies of the natural world. His voice is sage and clever, and many of his shorter verses recall the wit of the makers of classical epigrams, as well as, more obviously, the tone and stance of traditional Chinese poetry. One is also put in mind of Robert Frost at his most attractive and laconic. Still, Hauge's tenor is distinct; it communicates immediately through the simple surface of his poems: "Mountains are beaty things to move, oak-root won't budge, who dares take issue with the big things of the world? The voice of this poet soon sticks in the ear, and the reader will return to peck again and again along his spare, sturdy lines. Robin Fulton and White Pine Press are to be thanked for the admirable job they've done in presenting this Norwegian master to readers of English. -- From Independent PublisherWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
