Iceland is often labelled 'a land of ice and fire' - these days it has become something of a cliché - but when artist and poet Bruce Rimell visited with his husband in 2023, he felt plunged into a world of blood and honey, a place of poetry and song, recalling the Old Norse mythic images, as well as the magma which underlies and sculpts the vistas of this volcanic country...

Produktbeschreibung
Iceland is often labelled 'a land of ice and fire' - these days it has become something of a cliché - but when artist and poet Bruce Rimell visited with his husband in 2023, he felt plunged into a world of blood and honey, a place of poetry and song, recalling the Old Norse mythic images, as well as the magma which underlies and sculpts the vistas of this volcanic country... "to which I will say: I am a poet, I pray to waterfalls, let it outpour like rain..." Simultaneously a journey through Iceland's natural, cultural and human landscapes, as well as a dreaming fall into the frenetic soul of a hyperactive poet, 'Bloodhoney Songs' takes in scenes from Reykjavik, ekphrastic verses springing from Icelandic music - from Björk to múm, Sigur R¿s to Ólafur Arnalds - and geological wonders, to evoke a sublime process of emergence from lifelong traumas as a Queer/ADHD person into a more hopeful place... "breathe out: you are coming to an end of your grief, a closing of time..." Moving from the waking world, through fractured dreams of love in Loki's arms, into an eternal moment of stillness - the beginning of a fragile new world - this unique outsider's view of Iceland is possibly the most unusual perspective on the country and its fascinating people you've ever read!
