[En morgon, marken närmast trädet.]

En morgon, marken närmast trädet. Det är här vi
börjar. Linjerna, hur det kan vara längs med. Jag väljer
dig och att mena samma sak. Inte som att lova, bara
det självklara. Barken, jag vilar min hand mot dig, din
hud. Jag står dig närmare här.

Pernilla Berglund was born in 1982 in Umeå in Northern Sweden. In 2013 her debut poetry collection Tilltar (Increases) was published. The poems examine our relationship with the people who surround us, in our search for place and location, both geographically and in life.The outer and inner landscapes intersect, proximity becomes distance, and in these very movements we come to create ourselves.

Tilltar got nominated for Borås Tidnings Award for best debut of the year and she's been awarded Umeå's Creative Price in the category "Text". The book was translated into Danish in 2014.
