The Song Weigher by Egill Skallagrmsson
Egill Skallagrimsson was the most original, imaginative and technically brilliant of the Old Norse skalds, poets whose orally composed and performed verses were as much revered in ninth- to thirteenth-century Scandinavia as heroism in battle.
Ian Crockatt is a prize-winnning poet and translator, and has published six collections of his own poetry. His poem sequence Original Myths, with etchings by the Scottish artist Paul Fleming, was nominated for the Saltire Society's Scottish Book of the Year Award in 2000. As a translator, he won the prestigious Schlegel-Tiek Prize for translation from German in 2014 for Pure Contracdiction: Selected Poems of Rainer Maria Rilke (Arc, 2012), and in the same year, his Crimsoning the Eagle's Claw: Viking Poems of Rognvaldr Kali Kolsson, Earl of Orkney (Arc, 2014) was a Poetry Book Society Recommended Translation.
