About This Book

The collection assembles lyrical poems that trace seasons, daily rural life, and encounters with mythic forces through the experiences of a young woman and her household. Scenes move from domestic tasks and winter evenings to dreamlike nocturnes and confrontations with trolls, huldra, and prophetic visions, mixing folk tales, lullabies, riddles, and refrains. Language alternates between quiet observation and charged supernatural imagery, exploring longing, fear, resilience, and the porous boundary between waking and dreaming. Several pieces take the form of hearthside stories while others read as meditative addresses or premonitions, producing a compact, folk-inflected narrative arc.
