Lene Fogelberg, Author of Beautiful Affliction

Lene Fogelberg grew up in a small town on the Swedish West Coast. Fogelberg developed a love of poetry and reading, nurtured by the enchanting surroundings of her childhood; deep woods, fields, and ocean. Fogelberg has studied and live abroad, in France, Germany and the USA. Shortly after moving to the US it was discovered, by luck of circumstances that she was in the last stages of a fatal congenital heart disease. Within weeks she underwent two life-saving open-heart surgeries and began the long battle of recovery. Now she is well and grateful for every day with her husband and two daughters. She is currently living in Jakarta, Indonesia.

An award-winning poet in Sweden, Fogelberg has always felt drawn to writing in English and switched language when writing the memoir Beautiful Affliction, published by She Writes Press, September 2015.

Fogelberg is now working on a novel taking place in Jakarta.
Fogelberg’s writing has been featured in Writer's Digest, First For Women, Women's World, We Heart Writing, She Writes, Terri Giuliano Long and Women Writer's Women's Book.
