Praise:

"H谩vam谩l, 鈥榃ords of the High One鈥欌�攑urportedly delivering the wisdom of Odin in his own voice鈥攊s one of the most important mythological poems of the听Poetic Edda听and simply听the听most important witness to early Norse cultural ethics. Jackson Crawford has now given us a clean text and a new facing-page translation in contemporary idiom. A highly trained linguist, Crawford has already published with Hackett a complete translation of the whole of the famous ancient anthology, the听Poetic Edda, and acquired many fans for his YouTube videos teaching Old Norse. Crawford is a poet in his own right with a recognizably Western voice. A scholarly commentary on the whole poem is an accomplishment made palatable for the general reader by Crawford鈥檚 informal style. All in all, a fresh start on the mysteries of this classic."

"Jackson Crawford offers his readers an excellent entry into the world of听H谩vam谩l, where the high-god 脫冒inn from the Old Norse Pantheon mediates some age-old wisdom to his audience. Crawford provides a clear translation that points directly into the original text itself, while his extensive commentary emphasizes its nuances and ambiguity, strips away popular notions of paganism, and draws attention instead to the poem鈥檚 universal down-to-earth attitude. The humorous and entertaining cowboy-version that Crawford offers at the end serves as a tribute to the wisdom of his own grandfather, a fitting epilogue that updates this ancient poem which the Christian people of Iceland assembled from oral tradition into a book in the thirteenth century."
