From the author

[pullquote_left] “I moved to Iceland to be a poet.

At least I think I did. What I’ve become is something more like a journalist, a travel writer, a dance critic, a local music fanboy, blogger, hitch-hiker, conservation volunteer, layout designer, Icelandic student, socialite, babysitter, couchsurfer, burger-eater, immigration expert, coffee-needer, consistent drunkard, unabashed slut, and most importantly in the end, some kind of friend-making machine. I will want to be poet though. I’ve written some weird, bad prose poems and worked on some essays in tiny bits. But mostly I’ve been distracted by other good things. Reykjavík has not been as good for my writing as I thought it would be, but it’s certainly been good a lot of other parts of me. Parts I didn’t know needed good and parts I did. And parts that still need it. There are parts that need poems too.

I moved to Iceland to fall in love.” [/pullquote_left]
