One year in Mariestad

One Year in Mariestad is the kind of little picture book you might give a friend instead of flowers or chocolate. Each of the seventy pages consists of an illustration of a tiny three-line poem - a succinct, small-town observation. Someone said that life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. But what happens if we drop other plans for just a moment? This can put us in touch with small phenomena that make up our everyday existence - the subject matter of this book.
