I Didn’t Use to Like People

I didn’t use to like people

To this day

I’m not sure that I do

But I go out and talk to them

and I come home feeling better

Maybe, just maybe

they aren’t just assholes

and I hope this poem

is not just a load of crap

Peter Lindforss´ book debut was in 1976 with a collection of poems called Vykort från sjuttiotalet, in translation ”Postcards from the Seventies”. Until 1984, he published four more collections of poetry. He moved from almost private publication to being accepted by a major publisher, but never made a breakthrough.

Lindforss spent time in Paris and in New York. In 1981 he meet Leonard Cohen on the Greek island of Hydra and it was the start of an unusually intimate and long-lasting friendship. Cohen became Peter’s mentor.
