From the author

โ€œI moved to Iceland to be a poet.

At least I think I did. What Iโ€™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. Iโ€™ve written some weird, bad prose poems and worked on some essays in tiny bits. But mostly Iโ€™ve been distracted by other good things. Reykjavรญk has not been as good for my writing as I thought it would be, but itโ€™s certainly been good a lot of other parts of me. Parts I didnโ€™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.โ€
