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.

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.
