This collection of 38 terzanelle poems in based in Norse Mythology and attempts to restructure ideas suggested to the author while reading previous Eddas and discussion about them. The author freely admits that using one poetic structure to help him understand and reinterpret the poetic works and songs of more-knowledgeable poets and skalds may be pretentious folly, blasphemy, and its undertaking nigh unto madness. And yet, that is what he has done here in his Edda. As such, the poems are rooted in a personal journey into northern poetry, folklore, and mythology. As such, his interpretations may be (and probably are) wrong and may frantically differ from those of the reader.
