<p>Ingvild H. Rishøi, author of the children’s book <em>Unbrakomonsteret</em> as well as two collections of short stories, is back with the collection of poetry <em>Pling i bollen</em>. This time around she has had some help from the award-winning illustrator Bendik Kaltenborn; together they have created a universe within itself, where stones on a sloping mountainside can end up in intense discussion with one another, and a dachshund can make friends with a salmon without raising eyebrows.</p><p>Rishøi’s rhymes gesture teasingly towards the genre’s great masters, such as Inger Hagerup</p><p>and Andre Bjerke, whilst simultaneously showing great respect for their influence. First and foremost, the author has created poems for a new generation. Some are touching and tranquil, most are wild and wonderful, and what binds them all is their display of a seldomseen linguistic ingenuity.</p>
