Summary

She tries to conjure up places and situations which normal language does not reach, from which it has disappeared, and then let something unheard communicate with us across a distance for which we have no words. (...) What she adds is her fabulous gift of making her material physical. -Hadle Oftedal Andersen, Klassekampen

Weight of Light Summary

Weight of Light by Hanne Bramness

She tries to conjure up places and situations which normal language does not reach, from which it has disappeared, and then let something unheard communicate with us across a distance for which we have no words. (...) What she adds is her fabulous gift of making her material physical. -Hadle Oftedal Andersen, Klassekampen ...A lived and wise collection by this knowledgeable and sensitive poet. -Tore Elias Hoel, Dag og tid Hanne Bramness' own voice gently finds its way through a common language, not as insistence but as a presence, where the spontaneous warmth of feeling and intellectual distance balance each other. -Lennart Sjogren, Lyrikvannen
