Creativity
The works of Lundqvist are characterized by the interweaving of realistic and modernist features.
Lundqvist’s poetic work is characterized by a tendency to vivid, often surreal metaphoricality, faith in man and the creative forces of the culture that he generates, which are opposed by no less powerful chaotic forces of nature. In prose, the writer repeatedly turned to the genre of a historical novel ("The Will of Heaven" about Genghis Khan , "Poetry of a Warrior" about Alexander the Great). In the late 1970s and 80s. Lundqvist prefers the synthesis of poetry and prose - books consisting of philosophical and lyrical fragments.
