This is Gerdur Kristny's third collection from Arc and the third of
the trilogy which already comprises the highly-acclaimed Bloodhoof
and Drapa. In all three poetic sequences, the poet employs the
archaic form of the saga to conjure up razor-sharp dark and
bewildering images of the fates of women in a world where the
boundaries between life and death and what lies beyond are unclear.
In this particular sequence, Gerdur Kristny gives a voice to a
woman whose story was one that society was not ready to hear at the
time, a woman who was abused as a child but who committed suicide
before her own account of what had taken place was published. At
its heart is the very notion of articulation, of how our language
and culture determine what stories we can tell and what words we
can use.
