Tomas TranstrÖmer's poems are thick with the feel of life lived in a specific place: the dark, overpowering Swedish winters, the long thaws and brief paradisal summers in the Stockholm archipelago. He conveys a sense of what it is like to be a private citizen in the second half of the twentieth century.
Tomas Transtromer, recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize for Literature, was born in Stockholm in 1931 and is a psychologist by profession. One of Sweden’s most distinguished poets, he has also received the Bonnier Poetry Prize and the Petrarch Prize in Germany. He lives in Stockholm with his wife, Monica.

In Selected Poems, 1954-1986, Tomas Tranströmer's mastery shines through in vivid, introspective verses that capture the essence of Swedish landscapes and the nuances of everyday life. These poems are a journey through seasons and emotions, resonating long after each read. Ideal for anyone seeking poetry that intertwines personal reflection with the stark beauty of nature.

A poet who relates to one’s deeper self through simple images of nature.

Eine schöne Selektion aber der Druck ist sehr verschwommen und nicht schön gemacht. Etwas enttäuschend.

Broody. Strong images. Midsommar in poem form. Not your Maya Angelou inspirational type poetry. These are poems to read when you wake up at 2am from a strange dream. These are the poems you read when you smell firewood in the fall air and get caught in that strange reverie of the world hustling itself in, preparing for winter. These are the poems that you will want to pick up on a long train ride or a short walk. Because our attention span has been neutered to the length of a youtube video, it's necessary to experience the long legato melancholy and clarity that gives birth to that elusive tango deep inside our hearts.
