What the
press wrote about the book by Gunilla Witt
Allt
hon begär
W&W, 1997
These poems
are perfect! The book is so well written that it makes this
reader as happy as a day... This is extremely enjoyable
poetry. For post-modern critics and for young girls and
for everyone else.
Sydsvenska Dagbladet, Malmö
Gunilla
Witt makes her debut with an almost perfect and in many ways
funny collection of poems. In spite of topics like sadness
and longing, Witt has an stylistic airiness and purity that
makes it a very enjoyable book.
Aftonbladet, Stockholm
Her poetry
is characterized by a hyper-sensitive experience and a dreamlike
floating alongside a normal life. Her story has an impressingly
bold consequence. Her debut has indeed integrity.
Skånska Dagbladet, Malmö
She conveys
absolute brilliant images of our time.
Norrbottenskuriren, Luleå
Her poetry
is charachterized by an esthetic maturity and control of the
stylistic tools. A simple and pure idiom is leading into
the mysterious.
Svenska Dagbladet, Stockholm
The word
games and the witty use of proverbs makes the book very easy
to read. I had to read it twice, read it out loud and
discuss it before I fully understood the meaning of the poems.
That´s the way all poetry should be like.
Aftonbladet, Stockholm
The stylistic
imagination of Gunilla Witt is original. It is an unusually
stimulating debut.
...The important thing is that her poetry creates new places and unknown worlds
and states someting new in a way few other books have done in the last years.
Dagen Nyheter, Stockholm
Witt uses
her mature diction with great assurance. Warm sympathy, wise
reflection, an easy style and poignant satire makes a very
readable combination.
Bonniers Literary Magazine, Stockholm
