Hopp som i hare
Om undanträngningens roll i arbetet med min diktsamling
AbstractThe aim of this essay is to analyse what roll repression has had in the making of my unpublished collection of poems entitled Hopp som i hare. I examine how the autobiographical subject abortion has influenced the writing process and the outcome of the poems. By presenting literature that?s been important in the making of the collection I show some thoughts and ideas about Post Abortion Stress Disorder, a diagnosis without scientific grounds. In a discussion I go through the whole writing process from subject and genre choice through the revisions till the final version that were sent to be commented by the class in creative writing at Växjö University 2008. Finally I analyse my own reading before and after the workshop where the class commented the collection. It shows how repression influenced my reading before the workshop and how the class comments changed the way I red it afterwards. By hearing the class comment on my collection I also came to the conclusion that the poems was under repression and that constituted the ground of this essay.
