Vilborg Dagbjartsdóttir
Vilborg Dagbjartsdóttir (born 18 July 1930) is an Icelandic poet. She published her first book of poetry in 1960 and became one of the few women in Iceland to write modernist poetry. Her third book of poems, "Kyndilmessa" (1971; Candlemass), has been described as a "breakthrough". Innovative features in her works include the use of colloquial language and images of daily life. Like Jón úr Vör she combined lyrical realism with romantic imagery. Vilborg has been active in the feminist movement
