Gullfinger by Bård Torgersen and SJ Fowler

A unique collaborative collection published in a limited edition by Norway's Haerverk Forlag. Beautifully produced in full colour and launched October 2023, there are only 20 copies for sale in the UK, and outside of Norway. Each copy is signed and comes with a free pamphlet / poem sticker.

"This is a book of chaos.

A poetry collection, a collaboration, a relationship of text and photo-text, of glitches and subconsciousness's and unnecessary asides. Of unstory, of inexplicable goose memory. Of travels at home, and happy birds.

It is something made from the minds of Torgersen and Fowler without them really knowing, and as both of them haunt their own respective nations with a weird insistent urgency that scratches like a fun irritation, so does Gullfinger swoop in to mess with what's expected of pages.

In a sense, in its fleeting, gaudy fun, Gullfinger has a mind for real poetry - where the inexpressible is expressed through the chaotic periphery of language which reads deeper when the eye is wandering the mind."
