We are happy to announce that Susanna Alakoski is granted the Göran Palm Award! She is granted the award for her ability to flip the perspective on society and dissect the darker side of the Swedish model through her writing.
The award is given to authors, researchers or educators who have made important advancements in increasing the public interest and/or understanding of poetry, storytelling and drama.
The most commonly associated fields of work related to such efforts are those who predominantly see writing and and other media as their main craft such as books, essays, articles, study guides, radio, tv and internet forums – which directly or indirectly can be of use in educating the public.
