Klappentext From Edith Sodergran to Gunnar Ekelof to Nobel Prize-winning Tomas Transtromer, Sweden has long been home to a rich and luminous poetic tradition, notable for refreshing openness, striking honesty, and a rare transcendence that seems to spring from a keen attention to the natural world. With poems that span from the beginnings of Modernism to present day, "The Star By My Head: Eight Swedish Poets" is an essential bilingual volume that offers stark, exquisite translations by internationally acclaimed poets and translators Malena Morling and Jonas Ellerstrom. Published in partnership with the Poetry Foundation, "The Star By My Head" is the premiere American anthology of 20th- and 21st-century Swedish poetry in English translation.
