Book Discussion | Read & Analyze Nobel Prize Winner's Poetry, Seventeen Poems by Tomas Tranströmer


Read and discuss Tomas Tranströmer's Seventeen Poems (translated by Robin Fulton, from The Great Enigma: New Collected Poems).  Tomas Tranströmer (1931-2015) was a Swedish lyrical poet noted for his spare but resonant language, particularly his unusual metaphors—more transformative than substitutive—which have been associated with a literary surrealism. His verse was at once revelatory and mysterious. Tranströmer was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2011. Tranströmer’s first collection of poetry, 17 dikter (1954; Seventeen Poems), showed the influence of Modernism in its spare language and startling imagery, and it met with critical acclaim.
