freedom

Why is the Statue of Liberty our symbol? Well because freedom is of course nice, specially artistic freedom.

new level presents: "the little school of older Swedish poetry that through translation qualify in the new level (of poetry)"

This is one example of a swedish poem made by swedens biggest rock group kent, and the song is called Columbus and we have chosen it because it was columbus who discovered the United States, the country that is our main target, and as you can see, the last sentence is "columbus was my name"Also, there are many secret signs in the text, just look at this: The "snow rent out its innocence", which means that Swedish poetry (the snow) is no longer a virgin - that is: no longer unknown in the United States. It becomes almost clear with the sentence "An unknown continent". "Release please, let go now" refers to the launch party we had at the Stockholm International Poetry Festival. Translated in google translate you can clearly see that the lyrics qualifies to the new level (of poetry).

You have thought everything said about me
You can believe everything you hear about me
You can ask questions about the truth
Is there one or is there a thousand
Reply straight from the heart now
Your compassion can I be without
If this should be all we had time for
So hold me tight
Hold me darling now.
Stockholm wake up slowly
On drugs and in grief
The snow rent out its innocence
to the entire Kungsholmstorg*
It feels like when I came here
Way back in 93
a measly number of footsteps
An unknown continent
Release please, let go now
I can stand, walk or crawl from here
If this is all we have time
so hold me tight my darling now
Awaken the town slowly
and I am drunk again
The snow rent out its innocence
the shit just feels
It feels like when I came here
Way back in 93
a measly number of footsteps
an infinite continent
Stockholm wake up slowly
and I am drunk again
The snow rent out their innocence
to the whole Kungsholmen**
And it feels like when we got here
the possibility country
You can follow my tracks home
Columbus was my name

*a square in Stockholm City

**a part of Stockholm City



More examples of how Swedish poetry can get to the new level will come. But please note, we can not guarantee that all Swedish poets will succeed in the US. US demand high quality products in most cases. The successfull poets listen to their readers well and are willing to put large amouts of resources to make poems. Quality is the foundation of doing business in the US.
