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 Rόs 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!
