Britisk museum

Med 'Britisk museum' fortsætter Jørn H. Sværen arbejdet med at samle sine tekster til et større hele, sådan som han sidst gjorde i 'Dronning af England' (2011; da. 2013). Flere af motiverne videreføres her, og nye motiver kommer til – her er løver, bier, skjolde og sværd, kors og boghistorie, i digt og fragmenter, prosastykker, breve og billeder. Sproget er konsist og ladet. Teksterne er klare og hårde, gribende og dybt menneskelige.
