Icelanders used to be a very efficient nation, utilizing everything that washed ashore. The<\/span><\/p>\n

ocean brought wood, jetsam, and sometimes even a beached whale (hvalreki) that could feed<\/span><\/p>\n

a whole village. In recent years, a rapidly growing group of newcomers in Iceland has<\/span><\/p>\n

enriched the country&#39;s culture and arts. Writers and poets are hidden among those who have<\/span><\/p>\n

washed ashore. Some of them are still floating in the shallows, others have reached the shore,<\/span><\/p>\n

and still others have already joined the literary scene. These advent authors are poets ashore,<\/span><\/p>\n

fertile gifts from the deep. In this collection of essays, ten authors of foreign origin tell their<\/span><\/p>\n

stories, write about their desires and aspirations; talk about migration, finding their place in a<\/span><\/p>\n

new culture, about understanding and finding one&#39;s voice in Icelandic, or reaching new<\/span><\/p>\n

readers in a foreign language. Here is a fresh perspective, original language, and different<\/span><\/p>\n

stories. Skin. Bones. Meat. Fat. Take what you like the most.
