NEW SWEDISH BOOKS To Be or Not to Be: Poems about
You A poetry collection about friendship, being alive, about loneliness, grief, relationship and ordinary life: simply speaking about how it is to be human. Mårten Melin is a much appreciated and praised children’s and young adult author. With linguistic finesse, he’s able to put into words stormy emotions and describe the precariousness of life at the same time as creating space for thought within the rhythm and between the gaps of the poems. An extraordinary poetry collection that will inspire readers to write for themselves. Mårten Melin TO BE OR NOT TO BE: POEMS ABOUT YOU Rabén & Sjögren Rights: Rabén Agency 60 Photo: Karl Thorson
