Songs of Something Else, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A bilingual edition of one of Sweden's most important poets

Songs of Something Else presents seventy-five poems by Gunnar Ekelöf, one of the most important Scandinavian and European poets of the twentieth century. These poems are drawn from Ekelöf's middle period (1938-1959), during which he wrote some of his richest and most enduring poetry and established himself as a central figure in Swedish literature. The translators introduce and discuss Ekelöf's work, offer a close analysis of one poem, "Dordogne," and provide explanatory notes to the poems. The volume also features the original Swedish texts on facing pages.
