Leif Holmstrand (born 1972, living in Malmö) is a Swedish poet, novelist, artist and musician of non-straight, psychedelic, queer heritage, with a great interest in archaic means of expression and classical ways of composing, structuring, rhythmization. The poetry book “Inte världen / Not the World” (Albert Bonniers Förlag, 2022) lingers in the field where the physical universe overlaps the senses, at the very borders of personality and perception, and deals with the constant process of dying — and growing, changing, giving different kinds of births. This is also very true when it comes to their art and film production.
