In the 2021 edition of Sivilisasjonen's Poetry Competition, he got 2nd place with his poem "The White Doe" which was inspired by a painting by Luke Hillestad: https://sivilisasjonen.no/kultur/dikt/54603/pa-andreplass-i-sivilisasjonens-diktkonkurranse-hjortekolla-kvit-av-thomas-loland/ Løland touches on why it is important to return to masculine poetry, the strengths of the sonnet, rhyme and the significance of constrained writing, as well as Sonatorrek by Egil Skallagrimsson and skaldic poetry. * The conversation was produced by Bork S. Nerdrum, with assistance from Aftur Nerdrum. The centerpiece was a reproduction of Luke Hillestad's painting called "Stag". SHOUTOUT to our TOP SPONSORS!
