Sigurlín Bjarney Gísladóttir (b. 1975) is an Icelandic poet. Her first book, Fjallvegir í Reykjavík ("Mountain Roads of Reykjavík") was released in 2007 to mixed reception. The concept is that of driving through the streets of Reykjavík where particular mountains can be seen in the distance. Themes of the book include the contrast between the road and the mountain, the city and the countryside, with the mountains having an inescapable and sometimes aggressive presence. A review in Lesbók Morgunblaðsins described the idea as good but the execution as lacking in polish, with overly long texts that test the patience of the reader. A review in Fréttablaðið described the book as imaginative but overly wordy and ultimately an unfinished experiment. On more positive notes, a columnist in Morgunblaðið described the book as original and sprightly and credits it with changing the way he drives through the city. An overview in Tímarit Máls og menningar described Fjallvegir í Reykjavík as "this summer's most entertaining book of poetry".
