My name is Jonna Kihlman, a marketing professional and poet. I always enjoyed writing, but my interest in poetry grew during a course in Literary Representation at Jönköping University. I write about love, grief, nature, and myths, and I’m currently working on my first poetry collection. I occasionally participate in poetry readings with the Stockholm Poet Society, as shown in the picture. Below are my awards and publications.
