Produktbeschreibung
From the Winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature An expanded edition by the Nobel laureate Tomas Tranströmer, translated by the award-winning poet Robert Bly Every person is a half-open door leading to a room for everyone. The endless field under us. Water glitters between the trees. The lake is a window into the earth. -from "The Half-Finished Heaven" 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, its shaping of landscapes both outer and interior, stark and yet alive to the luminous. In 2011, Tranströmer was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "because, through his condensed, translucent images, he gives us fresh access to reality." The National Book Award-winning poet and renowned translator Robert Bly first introduced American readers to Tranströmer's poetry in his seminal English translations, all of which are collected here for the first time in this expanded edition. With an updated introduction and fourteen additional poems, The Half-Finished Heaven presents the best of Tranströmer's poetry in one indispensable volume.

His books of poetry, which have been translated into sixty languages, include The Deleted World and The Half-Finished Heaven, and he received numerous international honors during his lifetime. Tranströmer, a trained Swedish psychologist, worked for years in state institutions with juveniles and the disabled, and his work was often praised for the inventive ways in which it examined the mind.
