FUTURE POTENTIAL
Among potential future projects, two are of primary importance:
Workshop for literary scholars, writers, poets and artists in the memory of Stephan G. Stephansson (1853 – 1927) and Bill Holm (1943 – 2009). The workshop will be developed to exchange ideas, insights and inspirations related to the two poets and their output. Stephan G. Stephansson lived near Svartárkot for three years (1870 – 1873) prior to emigrating to North America. He later lived in the United States (1873 – 1889) and Canada (1889 – 1927). Bill Holm was a prolific American poet and essayist of Icelandic descent. Both writers combined critical thinking, poetry and nature and shared a passion for arts and music.
