The Future Modernism of No-Oil Norway: Øyvind Rimbereid’s 'Solaris Corrected'

The article is a literary analysis of the poem “Solaris Corrected„ by the Norwegian poet Øyvind Rimbereid. The work is a poetical science fiction where the oil industry in the North Sea is seen from a retrospective point of view, conveyed in a future language. As a part of the modernist tradition in Scandinavian literature, Rimbereid’s work can be read as a significant renewal of the poetic heritage from among others Rolf Jacobsen and Harry Martinson.
