Stokkseyri

Stokkseyri is a poetic homage to the small coastal village of Stokkseyri in South Iceland, where the author lived during the creation of this wonderful book. The poems are deeply rooted in place, drawing inspiration from the stark beauty of the sand beaches, the ever-changing moods of the North Atlantic, and the quiet resilience of the local community. In these verses, the sea becomes both a mirror and a memory, a force of nature and a keeper of stories. The town's rhythm - shaped by tides, wind, and everyday life - pulses through the book, offering a lyrical meditation on solitude, belonging, and the intimacy of landscape.

 At its core, Stokkseyri is not just about a place, but about the act of paying close attention, of anchoring oneself in the world through language, memory, and observation. This book is now available again with Sigvaldi Books, published in collaboration with Lightning Source.
