The first-ever English translation of one of Norway's best-known poets

From one of Norway's most outstanding living poets, Helge Torvund's Seriously Well is a book-length poem that explores the characteristics and limits of poetic incantation in relation to memory and illness. With spare lines and simple language, Torvund layers intimate recollections of nature, childhood, a personal illness and ultimately his deeply affecting acceptance of death. But Seriously Well is not a poem of mourning; rather it is one of expectation, experience, and of a confidence that told me / the very best thing to do for me / was to be where I am, / be alive / in that which is. Translated from Norwegian by its author, Seriously Well is the first full-length book of Torvund's poetry to appear in English.
