Selection, introduction (140 characters long) and translation by Anna Tebelius
The poet formulated questions on Twitter of up to 140 characters. The best/worst/strangest were collected. Perhaps he asked ‘What is poetry?’
Vad är vitsen med att vara barn om man ändå ska växa upp?
(What’s the point being a child if one has to grow up anyway?)
Vad är vitsen med att växa upp när man redan har varit barn?
(What’s the point growing up when one has been a child already?)
Vad är viktigast: att minnas rätt eller att finna värdiga ord?
(What’s most important: to remember correctly or to find the correct words?)
Eller är det att finna värdiga ord just att minnas rätt?
(Or is it that to find the correct words is precisely to remember correctly?)
