- Summary:
- Tomas Tranströmer's celebrated career earned him a place among the twentieth century's essential global voices. Translated into more than fifty languages, his poetry draws readers to its power and resonance through its shaping of landscapes and interiors that are stark and yet alive to the luminous. Tranströmer was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature "because, through his condensed, translucent images, he gives us fresh access to reality." Renowned poet and translator Robert Bly introduced American readers to Tranströmer's poetry in his seminal English translations, all of which are collected in this expanded and indispensable edition of The Half-Finished Heaven.
