It shows her poetry’s tone of inner discourse shifting imperceptibly towards a new and harsh gravity. As Sweden’s August Prize jury commented on her work as a whole, this is poetry ‘both melancholy and impassioned’, expressing a ‘struggle against meaninglessness, disintegration, destruction – against death in life’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tua Forsström","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280135139579,"sku":"9781780375823","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781780375823.jpg?v=1772486441","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/i-walked-on-into-the-forest-9781780375823","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
