Synopsis
A Song for Liv was seventeen years in the making. Liv (her name is pronounced "leave" and translates as Life in Icelandic) is Wayne's only child. His Song for Liv is a history, memoir, and photographic tour, delivered in poetic prose to explore his family's roots from Iceland to Mountain, North Dakota, and thence to the Red River Valley. Gudmundson embarked upon this writing and photography project when Liv was seventeen years old. The result is a songline, an ode to landscape and history, place and story."A Song for Liv by Wayne Gudmundson is a love letter to his daughter, Liv. Serendipitously, the modern Nordic name Liv also means 'life.' As well as a gift to his daughter, A Song for Liv, is a personal meditation on place, the search for personal and ethnic identity, and the complexities therein, much of which is located in the mists (and myths) of time with only the ancient landscapes of those stories remaining. Combining travel notes, Icelandic history and lore, and family relationships, Gudmundson's form here-best characterized as hybrid-weaves a tapestry that is at once inviting and accessible, each page entry a stanza-like lyric of the larger song.-Thom Tammaro, three-time Minnesota Book Award recipient and author of When the Italians Came to My Home Town and Italian Days & Hours"Written as a gift from a father to his daughter, A Song for Liv gathers up what wisdom and understanding a father can offer. His story begins its search for ancestral places in the Faroe Islands, where Gudmundson explores his investment in the larger Scandinavian world, having claimed a portion of the Faroes as his own. The narrative of the Norse invasion of Scandinavia continues on through Iceland to Canada to the settlement of Gimli, Manitoba, and from there to a small church in North Dakota, the home of Gudmundson's grandparents and the protean poet K.N., whose spirit hovers over the entire narrative."-David Arnason, writer, professor, and Viking from Gimli, Manitoba
