”Att befrias fran varje horisontlinje”. Birgitta Lillpers poetiska landskap

Abstract

The paper constitutes an analysis of the poetry of Birgitta Lillpers in the context of the postmodern break-up of traditional definitions of literary genres. The characteristic features of the Swedish poet's work are ambiguity, fragmentation, and a diffuse persona of the speaker. Lillpers' poetry is rich in lexical, semantic and syntactic experimentation.
