Download my chapbook Övergången today!

‘Övergången’ is the Swedish word for ‘transition’. What better word, then, for a chapbook featuring ten poems originally written in English and translated into Swedish? I published a limited edition of fifty copies of this chapbook last year in preparation for my ‘appearance’ at the Södermalms Poesifestival in Stockholm. Now I’m making it available here for download as a PDF specially-formatted for printing! Right-click and save, then simply print using double-sided settings and voila! Your very own chappie! Download Övergången today … tomorrow, next week!
