Kven Poetry

Who are the Kvens and what is Kven literature? In the past few years there has been a greater awareness of the Kven minority. The poetry collection Hjerteskog (Heart Forest) with the subtitle Kvenske dikt (Kven poetry) is M. Seppola Simonsen’s debut and a ground-breaking piece of work about Kven language and identity, nature and loss.

On Friday 10 February, M. Seppola Simonsen will read from the poetry collection in the Galleri at Bergen Kunsthall – a great opportunity to have a different kind of lunch break, and to take in the exhibitions at Bergen Kunsthall.

In collaboration with Bergen Kunsthall.
