Multikonstnären Beppe Wolgers' poems are being set to music by his great-grandson Teodor Wolgers, according to SVT's "Kulturnyheterna".

Teodor Wolgers began to take an interest in poetry a few years ago and found his grandfather Beppe Wolgers' poetry collection "Episod i Vikens kapell: om en händelse i somras".

When I opened this poetry collection, I realized that it's this chapel, this place that I must go to to investigate and explore my relationship with him, he says to SVT.

The album will be released on May 16, with guests such as Annika Norlin and Kjell-Erik Eriksson.

Beppe Wolgers passed away in 1986.
