Reading and book launch in the reading room of The House of Collections at Hverfisgata.<\/span><\/p>\n

The National Gallery of Iceland and Reykjav\u00edk UNESCO City of Literature in collaboration with the Reykjav\u00edk International Literary Festival invite you for a reading and a launch event for the book Crossroads \u2013 An Anthology of Art-Inspired writing where fifteen writers and poets were invited to choose one work in the exhibition that inspires them. And, just as the works of art called out to those selected artists, their writings will in turn lead us observers into the works, and connect us with the art, and at the same time with the creative imagination of the writers, in new and myriad ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

The authors who contributed to the book are: Anne Carson, \u00c1sta Fanney Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir, <\/span>Berg\u00fe\u00f3ra Sn\u00e6bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir, Brynj\u00f3lfur \u00deorsteinsson, Hallgr\u00edmur Helgason, J\u00f3n Kalman, Kar\u00f3l\u00edna R\u00f3s, Krist\u00edn \u00d3marsd\u00f3ttir, Ma\u00f3 Alheimsd\u00f3ttir, Margr\u00e9t Bjarnad\u00f3ttir, Mar\u00eda El\u00edsabet Bragad\u00f3ttir, Ragna Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir, Ragnar Helgi \u00d3lafsson, Ragnhei\u00f0ur Harpa Leifsd\u00f3ttir and Sj\u00f3n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6081,"template":"","stadsetningar":[219],"thatttokuar":[204],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nReading and book launch: Crossroads \u2013 An Anthology of Art-Inspired writing - B\u00f3kmenntah\u00e1t\u00ed\u00f0 \u00ed Reykjav\u00edk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/bokmenntahatid.is\/en\/dagskra\/reading-and-book-launch-crossroads-an-anthology-of-art-inspired-writing\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Reading and book launch: Crossroads \u2013 An Anthology of Art-Inspired writing - B\u00f3kmenntah\u00e1t\u00ed\u00f0 \u00ed Reykjav\u00edk\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Reading and book launch in the reading room of The House of Collections at Hverfisgata.
