På telefon med forfatteren skinner det igjennom hvor glad han
er for dette. "Det har enorm
betydning for mitt forfatterskap å utkomme på et slikt respektert og kresent
forlag som utgir både i USA og England ," sier han. Og legger ikke skjul på at han føler han er i
godt selskap med de andre forfatterne på forlaget.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Arbeidet jeg stiller ut er også nytt og er fra bildeserien <i>Herbjørnsruds univers</i>. Bildet er ikke inspirert av en spesifikk novelle, men er en slags tilstandsrapport. Verket er en visuell fremstilling av mine tanker, følelser og refleksjoner etter å ha jobbet med bildeserien over nesten to år. Underlige og fantastisk ting oppstår når litteratur og billedkunst møtes …<br />

<br />
Do not go gentle into that good night,<br />
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;<br />
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.<br />
<br />
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,<br />
Because their words had forked no lightning they<br />
Do not go gentle into that good night.<br />
<br />
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright<br />
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,<br />
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.<br />
<br />
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,<br />
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,<br />
Do not go gentle into that good night.<br />
<br />
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight<br />
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,<br />
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.<br />
<br />
And you, my father, there on the sad height,<br />
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.<br />
Do not go gentle into that good night.<br />
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.<br />

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I am currently in the process of moving my studio. I hope to continue my work in my new studio in a week or two. I will post a few pictures as the moving progress... in the meantime... Well, here is a another poem for you to read:<br />
<br />
<b>Ophelia</b><br />
<br />
I<br />
<br />
On the calm black water where the stars are sleeping<br />
White Ophelia floats like a great lily ;<br />
Floats very slowly, lying in her long veils…<br />
- In the far-off woods you can hear them sound the mort.<br />
<br />
For more than a thousand years sad Ophelia<br />
Has passed, a white phantom, down the long black river.<br />
For more than a thousand years her sweet madness<br />
Has murmured its ballad to the evening breeze.<br />
<br />
The wind kisses her breasts and unfolds in a wreath<br />
Her great veils rising and falling with the waters ;<br />
The shivering willows weep on her shoulder,<br />
The rushes lean over her wide, dreaming brow.<br />
<br />
The ruffled water-lilies are sighing around her ;<br />
At times she rouses, in a slumbering alder,<br />
Some nest from which escapes a small rustle of wings ;<br />
- A mysterious anthem falls from the golden stars.<br />
<br />
II<br />
<br />
O pale Ophelia ! beautiful as snow !<br />
Yes child, you died, carried off by a river !<br />
- It was the winds descending from the great mountains of Norway<br />
That spoke to you in low voices of better freedom.<br />
<br />
It was a breath of wind, that, twisting your great hair,<br />
Brought strange rumors to your dreaming mind ;<br />
It was your heart listening to the song of Nature<br />
In the groans of the tree and the sighs of the nights ;<br />
<br />
It was the voice of mad seas, the great roar,<br />
That shattered your child's heart, too human and too soft ;<br />
It was a handsome pale knight, a poor madman<br />
Who one April morning sate mute at your knees !<br />
<br />
Heaven ! Love ! Freedom ! What a dream, oh poor crazed Girl !<br />
You melted to him as snow does to a fire ;<br />
Your great visions strangled your words<br />
- And fearful Infinity terrified your blue eye !<br />
<br />
III<br />
<br />
- And the poet says that by starlight<br />
You come seeking, in the night, the flowers that you picked<br />
And that he has seen on the water, lying in her long veils<br />
White Ophelia floating, like a great lily.<br />
<br />

<i> That looked as it had been a shade on earth;</i><br />
<i>Quick in its motions, with an air of vigour,</i><br />
<i> But nought to mark its breeding or its birth;</i><br />
<i>Now it waxed little, then again grew bigger,</i><br />
<i> With now an air of gloom, or savage mirth;</i><br />
<i>But as you gazed upon its features, they</i><br />
<i>Changed every instant — to what, none could say.</i><br />
<br />
From "The Vision of Judgement"<br />

Here is the poster/program for this year’s festival (in Norwegian only).<br />
<br />
<b>What is very exciting about this years program is the collaboration between Hans Herbjørnsrud and Vegard Tveitan (Ihsahn/Emperor). I am sure this meeting between music and literature will be something to remember…. </b><br />
