Nobel Prize-winner Tomas Transtrmer explores the personal and political, the ecological and existential, through poems that expand like the widening scope of a telephoto lens.
With slow strokes and subtle, rich lines, The Blue House: Collected Works of Tomas Transtrmer is evidence of a Nobel Prize-winning poet tracing the world with his pen. A stunning testament to an illustrious career, The Blue House gathers poems and writings from Transtrmer's fourteen collections into a single book. Original Swedish sits alongside their English translations as Patty Crane translates his words into revelatory language acute in the understanding of human change and loss. range from agile haiku to cinematic prose. Social phenomena are observed in rich detail-a "dictator's bust" presiding over a train car of doomed passengers-and the collection is propelled by empathy and curiosity. Under Transtrmer's watchful eye, no subject is overlooked: Milij Balakirev, the Russian composer; Nils Dacke, the Swedish peasant who led a rebellion against the king; and him, the stranger who forgets his name by the roadside. From the personal to the political to the existential, Transtrmer's poems act as a telephoto lens, granting us reinvigorated access to the world we live in.
