In the concise verses and prose poems of road song for, Lars Palm reminds us–as he always does–of the music of everyday English, from overheard conversations to pop lyrics. Often light in tone but never slight, Palm’s work is carefully built to look effortless. — Amanda Laughtland

This is a wonderful book of impulsive and magical, lyrical poetry. — Robert Loydell, Stride Magazine.

Inte honungssött direkt men mättande och närande likaså — not dripping with honey but filling & nourishing as well — Albert Herranz
