The Red Place

Meer over het boek

Exploring the interplay of life, memory, and music, Lars Amund Vaage's long poem weaves together the experiences of a mother navigating various 'red places' and the presence of a father whose essence lingers. The poet reflects on childhood and adulthood, capturing the emotional resonance of music amid the contrasting landscapes of farmland and urban life. Vaage's work is a tender meditation on familial bonds, the passage of time, and the haunting beauty of existence, blending myth, realism, and surreal elements into a rich tapestry of poetic expression.
