Having no background in Swedish, this was a challenge. Past language barriers, even though I hardly knew what was going on, the word choice and rhythm was so intriguing. Described as "nursery rhymes gone wrong in translation," this collection of poems was by far the strangest and most provoking bit of poetry I've read this year. Some might think the words are disjointed, random, used in a staccato that anyone could replicate, but there's something else going on here... Something else I have to look into.
