The Others Circles, and Me a Line

Oftestad, Siri Amalie: De andre sirkler, og jeg en strek

The poems in The Others Circles, and Me a Line are onomatopoeic and characterised by great precision in language and images, and a distinctive temperament becomes apparent. With humour, rhythmic playfulness and wildness an “I” is described who can experience itself as exposed and different, but at the same time recognises a strength and a will, for example to love.

Praise for The Others Circles, and Me a Line:

”Oftestad proves herself as a skilled and talented writer – the single poems are well written, and the book seems thoroughly prepared… the book passes on a feeling of life, and nice, slightly curious images appear”
