TOMAS TRANSTRÖMER, one of Sweden’s leading poets, studied poetry
and psychology at the University of Stockholm. His numerous collections
of poetry include Windows and Stones (1972), an International Poetry Forum
Selection and runner-up for the National Book Award for translation, and
The Great Enigma: New Collected Poems (2006), Robin Fulton’s translation
of Tranströmer’s complete body of work. His longstanding friendship
with poet Robert Bly, who has also translated some of his work, is documented
in Air Mail (2001), a collection of more than 25 years of their correspondence.
Tranströmer has also published a memoir, Minnena Ser Mig (Memories
Look At Me) (1993).
