Deig

Deig (Dough) is a beautiful collection of poetry exploring the raw materials of human existence: the everyday and its moments of magic, the past spilling out of drawers, the future appearing in silver photographs, and places of refuge, both within the walls of the home and beyond.

Ragnheiður Harpa Leifsdóttir works at the intersection of performing arts, visual arts and literature. Her first collection of poetry, Sítrónur og náttmyrkur (Lemons and Night Darkness), was published in 2019, followed three years later by Urðarflétta. Ragnheiður Harpa is also a member of the literary collective Svikaskáld, with whom she has published four poetry collections and the novel Olía (Oil), which was nominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize in 2021.

For Deig, she was awarded the Tómas Guðmundsson Literary Prize.
