Over the course of his career, Tomas Transtrmer a poet who could look on the barren isolation of Swedens landscapes and seascapes like no other, and find in them something hauntingly transcendent emerged as one of the 20th centurys essential global voices. By the time he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2011, his luminous, almost mystical work had been translated into more than 50 languages.Gathering his poems from the early, naturefocused work to the later poetrys widening of the scope to take in painting, travel, urban life, and the impositions of technology on the natural world, and stirred throughout by the poets profound love of music, The HalfFinished Heaven is a unique selection from Transtrmers work. It is also, in its way, a deeply intimate one the poems handpicked here are not only the most beloved, but also those which were translated in the course of Transtrmers nearly thirtyyear correspondence with his close friend and collaborator, the American poet Robert Bly. Few names are more strongly associated with Transtrmers and few people have understood not only his poetry, but the processes behind it, more profoundly. The result is perhaps the best Englishlanguage introduction to this great and strange poets work that there could be.
