Description
Edith Södergran's Complete Poems is a groundbreaking collection of visionary poetry that has been hailed as Finland's greatest modern poet. Written in Swedish, her poems are characterized by their intense imagery and profound insights into the human condition. Born in 1892 to a Finno-Swedish family, Edith Södergran grew up in Raivola, near the Russian border, where she was educated at a German school in St Petersburg. Her early influences were Goethe and Heine, but it was her struggle against tuberculosis that became the driving force behind her mature Swedish poetry. Translated into English for the first time, this edition brings Södergran's unique voice to a wider audience. With its comprehensive introduction by David McDuff, this collection provides a definitive understanding of Edith Södergran's life and work, shedding light on the turbulent world she sought to capture in her poetry.
