Did you know that the common crow is the bird that appears most often in Swedish poetry?
And that Erik Axel Karlfeldt is the first Swedish poet to include a large number of bird species, of which the corncrake is a favorite? And that many poems are about dead birds? You can read about this and much more in this book. Often the poetry reader slips past natural phenomena in the poems, but here many observations can be made about the birds' behavior, song and migration. Perhaps Sweden's foremost bird poet of all time, Bengt Emil Johnson, is treated in detail. One chapter is devoted to the relationship between humans and birds, another to the birdwatcher Erik Rosenberg, who has meant a lot to our poets. Sten Hidal is professor emeritus in biblical studies at Lund University and chairman of the Tegnérsamfundet.
