Tomas Transtromer: Selected Poems, 1954-1986 / Tomas Transtromer

Tomas Transtr mer'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.
