Aednan: An Epic
by Linnea Axelsson
But she has
been home and
not home
she has been
where her
memories were
–
They were never
in rooms or walls
but in person
in the living and dead
and in the words
with which she moved
–
Next time Grandma
I intend to wear
my kolt like you
Mostly repeating my review from when I read this as an eBook, only adding that it moved so nicely in audio and was well narrated. The poetry flowed so well, I often got lost in the story and once almost missed my metro stop. The pain of losing traditional and family knowledge, the trauma and danger of assimilation, was so clearly but beautifully shown.
The ruling language
drizzled over us
Swedish words
impossible to pronounce
–
They penetrated
our clothes
coated our skin
–
That needling eye
–
a rain through
all that one loves
