Olav H Hauge (1908-1994) was one of Norway's most highly regarded contemporary poets. This extensive selection of his poems was the first to appear in English translation. Though deeply rooted in his own West Norwegian landscape, which he evokes memorably, his poems are of universal not merely local appeal. In their everyday subject-matter, their wry humour and their coot economy, his poems are comparable to those of William Carlos Williams or Brecht.
