Description
Tomas Tranströmer's poetry is deeply rooted in the landscapes and seascapes of Sweden, yet his work transcends the ordinary to reveal something hauntingly profound. This selection of poems, gathered from throughout his career, showcases the poet's luminous and almost mystical voice. The poems included here are not only among Tranströmer's most beloved but also those that were translated during a nearly thirty-year correspondence with American poet Robert Bly. This unique connection lends an intimate quality to the collection, offering a profound understanding of the poet's work and its processes. This book provides a compelling introduction to Tranströmer's poetry in English, distilling his essence into a selection that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
