Cheers Patrick -----Original Message----- From: British & Irish poets [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of SJ Fowler Sent: 20 March 2011 19:02 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Maintenant #51: Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson An iconic poet in Scandinavia, Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson, or UKON, as he is often known, has established a remarkable reputation in the literary culture of Sweden at large, despite being a challenging and innovative poetic practitioner. A resident of Gothenburg, and a winner of the prestigious Göteborgs-Posten literary prize, he is a practising psychologist and psychoanalyst as well as a poet, and his prolific poetic output advocates the level of intellectual engagement and complexity that his chosen profession would suggest. It is hardly surprising that he also a deft satirist, lacing his writing with a black humour worthy of the great European tradition he maintains. For the 51st edition of Maintenant, Sweden’s UKON. http://www.3ammagazine.com/3am/maintenant-51-ulf-karl-olov-nilsson/ Accompanying the interview are five of Ulf Karl's poems, translated by Fredrik Hertzberg, Karri Kokko, and Leevi Lehto. http://www.3ammagazine.com/3am/five-poems-ulf-karl-olov-nilsson/
