語言Language：English

Have you ever seen the Nordic light? Have you seen the midnight sun? These are scenery that is possible to be seen in Sweden and Norway. We have the first Swedish poet, Bengt Berg, visiting Hong Kong. He will read with us poems describing the beautiful and unique landscape in the Northern land. 

Bengt Berg’s poems are full of humor and warmth, and characterized by sharp insights into the oddities of people and situations. With time he has become more and more aware of form — without sacrificing other merits — and his poems appear at times to have been written by an Eastern master.”

Bengt Berg was born in 1946 in Torsby, Värmland, Sweden. He studied German and Nordic languages & Literary and Art studies at Uppsala University. He worked as a freelance writer and translator since 1975. Berg was a Member of the Swedish Parliament from 2010 to 2014. Since 1990, Bengt has operated the publishing house, Heidruns Förlag in his home village Fensbol near Torsby in the Province of Värmland. 

Bengt Berg’s debut poetry collection, Where the Dream Ends, appeared in1974; and since then he has written more than 35 books, mostly poetry. His poems have been translated into Nordic languages, as well as Arabian, Hebrew, English, German, Dutch, Greek, Romanian, Spanish, Turkish, Polish, Russian, Latvian, Vietnamese, Bangla, Hindi and Malayalam. In 2014, he published his Collected Poems, Dikter genom 40 år.
