Transtromer has been translated into 60 languages."he uses external reality ,often rather grim,to reflex existential paradoxes and deep emotion...He's very restrained and very sober.,a poet who brings emotion and ideas out of imagery in a very potent way"(W P,10.7.2011)
Tmas trastromer also considered a "metaphysical visionary poet" whosepoems are accessible for translation to show long witers of sweden with nature and beauty."He is a psychologist ,and the work is charcterized by very strong psychological insight into humanity.(N Y Times,7 Oct 2011)
Cowardice breaks off on its path.
Anguish breaks off on its path.
The vulture breaks off in its path.
The eager light runs into the open
even the ghosts take the drink.
And our paintings see the air
and the beasts of ice-age studios.
Everything starts to look around.
We go out in the sun by hundreds.
Every person is a half open door
leading to a room to everyone
The endless field under us
Water glitters between the trees.
The lake is a window into the earth.
from THE HALF FINISHED HEAVEN
Tr;Robert Bly 2011
