With spare lines and simple language, Torvund layers intimate recollections of nature, childhood, a personal illness and ultimately his deeply affecting acceptance of death. But \u003ci\u003eSeriously Well\u003c\/i\u003e is not a poem of mourning; rather it is one of expectation, experience, and of \"a confidence that told me \/ the very best thing to do for me \/ was to be where I am, \/ be alive \/ in that which is.\" Translated from Norwegian by its author, \u003ci\u003eSeriously Well\u003c\/i\u003e is the first full-length book of Torvund's poetry to appear in English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelge Torvund\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Ha, Norway, in 1951, and lives with his wife near the Southwest coast.
