Karin Fossum is best known as a crime writer, but she made her literary debut with poetry. In 2013 she published the poetry collection Natten er et annet land (”Night is a Different Country”).
Vi som er døde (”We who are Dead”) describes life's struggles and reflects about the different starting-points which become parts of a person. In the title poem we are followed right through till after death.
”But the dark night is ours
When we weigh nothing;
Then we rise up
From the grave,
Flicker around in the dark
And blink like comets
Unyoked
Above the fields.”
