Collected Words is a small book of stories, moments, quotes, and images from one of Stavanger’s beloved institutions.

English

Loosely acting as a sequel to author’s earlier release, I Saw That Girl in My Toluene Dream follows Jacob through more extravagant and convoluted stories. However, the dusty stools in a dimly lit bar that characterized his first novel have been replaced by the wire-framed lounge chairs of a fluorescent-lit therapy office.

English

On the surface, Treading Water is exactly what it claims to be: a collection of poems about love and the ways in which trauma has a profound effect on it. Yet, what is revealed at its core ismuch denser, much more telling of a writer erupting her heart onto the page with messy ink and a disregard for her own vulnerability.

Stavanger is an eclectic place and home to eccentric people with rich and odd stories to tell: from kings and fires and nazis, to spies and spectres and professors. With the cold North Sea rain and an American onlooker, a night at the People’s Theater can get pretty strange

Tjatse & Idunn

Jacob Tom & Ida Ekrheim

ISBN:9788269187724

English/Nynorsk

Intimately inspired by classical works which have emphasized heroism, grandeur, love, and a dramatic sensibility, this collection of poetry is an attempt to capture the same ancient energy. Here, a steady stream of sonnets framed by lyrics, elegies, odes, and other forms of verse are strung together to tell a story of losing love and finding it again.

Fremdeles

Kjell Haavard Thrane Høie

ISBN:9788269187762

Norsk

Når Kjell Haavard beskriver sine følelser er inntrykket ikke av språklig spill. Isteden ser vi ham åpne og lukke dører til sine psykiske og fysiske følelser. En emosjonell reise støttet av klare visuelle bilder fra en skribent som forstår hvordan å knytte steder, personer, sanser og følelser til et papir.
