Part lambasting of gender roles and capitalist absurdity, part investigation into human-nature relationships, Stormwarning is the third collection of poetry by Kristín Svava Tómasdóttir, an up-and-coming poet in Iceland and abroad and winner of the American-Scandinavian Foundation’s Leif and Inger Sjöberg Award.

In this collection, Tómasdóttir imbues her work with dark humor and understated Scandinavian dread, playing with language and expectations to leave her readers awaiting the coming storm.
