En pensionärs penséer


At the age of 83 my beloved grandfather started to write poetry. He was sending me emails with his poems and I wanted to give those poems another forum to be celebrated in, rather than email chains. I persuaded him into together creating a book. I wanted to give my grandfathers poems a visual element and I therefore asked my friend Moa Pålstedt to make illustrations. 

En pensionärs penséer (The thoughts of a pensioner) is the name of the book, with the subtitle Thoughts about the present.

The result of this collaboration with two persons so dear and near to me makes me very happy and the book has a special place in my bookshelf.
