In the days when people recorded songs on vinyl, the instrumental "Scandinavia" was the last song on the second side of the Van Morrison album "Beautiful Vision," a happy signoff for an album in which Morrison was constructing a new sonic and emotional palette which would serve him well for the next decade.
As I read Emily Dickinson's poem about Lapland, northern winds and Norwegian wines, I recalled this song, which I haven't thought of for 20 years or so.
This is my first attempt at Penny A Poem to mix music and poetry together. I would be very interested in any comments.
