The Angelgreen Sacrament by Eva Kristina Olsson translated by Johannes Goransson
Translated by Johannes Goransson. "In lyrical vision and hypnotic spells, this book THE ANGELGREEN SACRAMENT, creates its own mythology...with subtle variations, repetitions and negations, it generates ethereal rhythms and ecstatic resonances as the language dissolves in a frighteningly beautiful song." from Swedish Radio's announcement of The Lyric Prize.
