Thomas "Orup" Eriksson is this year's Evert Taube prize winner. He receives the prize for his "lyrically angular texts" filled with "esprit" and "playful pathos".

The large Evert Taube prize from Orust is a poetry prize awarded to a person who works in the spirit of Evert Taube. This year's prize winner receives, in addition to 50,000 kronor, a dinner with "West Swedish delicacies".

The jury emphasizes in its motivation Orup's folk-like language style, sense of words, and bittersweet, subtly humorous undertones.

Orup explains in a press release that he is proud to have received the Taube prize: "So, talk about hits. The language, the melodies, the rhythm. The King". He will donate the prize money to Children's Rights in Society, Bris.
