Poems about people. No, not about individuals. Poems about people as in; humans. What does it mean to be human, and also; how can it be described?

People have a tendency to not see themselves and their circumstances clearly – which is understandable. However, when we do examine our existence, it is an irrefutable fact that we are dependent on one another. None of us exist in a vacuum cut off from the rest of humanity. Our actions influence others, and reflect back onto ourselves.

K-M Skalkenæs tries to understand how people fit together. How we all co-exist, and also how we influence each other.
