Poet Ingrid Kallenbäck has died at age 70, according to Albert Bonniers Förlag. She was born in Motala and debuted in 1983 with "Ljusverkan," the first of nine poetry collections published by Albert Bonniers Förlag. Her last collection was "Känsel," published in 2009.
In 2000, she was awarded the Samfundet de Nios Vinterpris. According to Dagens Nyheter's deputy culture editor Åsa Beckman, Kallenbäck was a sensual and perceptive poet with an ability to see small shifts in existence and give them language. Beckman reportedly described her as a friend who will be missed.
