The Deleted World

""Tomas Transtromer--the recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature--can be clearly recognized not just as Sweden's most important poet, but as a writer of international stature whose work speaks to us now with undiminished clarity and resonance. Long celebrated as a master of the arresting, suggestive image, Transtromer is a poet of the liminal: his verse is drawn again and again to thresholds of light and of water, the boundaries between man and nature, wakefulness and dream. The poems collected in The Deleted World span the breadth of Transtromer's career and provide a perfect introduction to the work of one of the world's greatest living poets." --Cover."@en
