A short selection of haunting, meditative poems from the winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature

Tomas Tranströmer can be clearly recognized not just as Sweden's most important poet, but as a writer of international stature whose work speaks to us now with undiminished clarity and resonance. Long celebrated as a master of the arresting, suggestive image, Tranströmer is a poet of the liminal: drawn again and again to thresholds of light and of water, the boundaries between man and nature, wakefulness and dream. A deeply spiritual but secular writer, his skepticism about humanity is continually challenged by the implacable renewing power of the natural world. His poems are epiphanies rooted in experience: spare, luminous meditations that his extraordinary images split open--exposing something sudden, mysterious, and unforgettable.

About Tomas Tranströmer

Recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature, Tomas Tranströmer (1931–2015) was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and worked as a psychologist for most of his professional life. His debut collection, 17 Poems, appeared in 1954, and he published a relatively small body of work across the following decades. The Swedish Academy cited him for giving readers fresh access to reality through his condensed, translucent images. Robert Bly translated much of his work into English, including the volume The Half-Finished Heaven, introducing him to American readers.
