The Others Circles, and Me a Line
Oftestad, Siri Amalie: De andre sirkler, og jeg en strekThe 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”
