Hello Gentle Reader,
Anna Hallberg, has been elected to the Swedish Academy. Hallberg will take Chair No. 18, which was left vacant after the Finnish-Swedish poet Tua Forsström resigned from the Swedish Academy in 2024. Following in what could be described as a conventional tradition now, Anna Hallberg is primarily a poet, as were both the previous occupants of the chair: Tua Forsström and Katarina Frostenson; while one could additionally include Artur Lundkvist in this tradition, Lundkvist is perhaps better recognised now his political positions and Soviet apologist attitudes then his poetry.
Anna Hallberg’s current poetry collection “AN,” is nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize.
Anna
Hallberg will officially be instituted into the Swedish Academy during academy’s
general meeting on December 20 2026.
Take Care
And As Always
Stay Well Read
