Loftrætur / Aerial Roots

The second issue of Tímarit Máls og Menningar is out, and in the column Hugvekja I write about the experience of foreign-born children and foreign-born teachers living in Iceland. I tell the story of Francesca Cricelli, a wonderful friend, poet, and translator, who early in her life moved between Brazil, Italy, Malaysia, Spain, and India before she put down roots here in Reykjavík.

It's a big pleasure to be featured in TMM #2. Within the great collection of writing you can find texts by my writing sisters: Elena Ilkova and Helen Cova.

Thank you: Sigþrúður Silju Gunnarsdóttir, and especially Elín Edda Pálsdóttir for the translation, Luciano Dutra for help with Francesca's poems and dear Francesca Cricelli, for your time and your trust.
