Tag: Change

Poems about change. What does that even mean? How can you say you write about “change”? Change can mean anything and everything.

True. And especially so when it is such a common theme for a poet.

However, I can explain. When K-M Skalkenæs uses the word “change” it can technically be the nebulous: “everything changes”. But more often it is related to the theme of transience, which she has also written a lot about. They are usually linked.

Change refers to the passing of time. The changes people see in themselves and others. The changes time wreaks around them. And most importantly: How to cope.
