Scadinavian poetry, part three


Scandinavian poetry is sadly not often translated into english but luckely one of my favourites are:
the swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer. Tranströmer is considered to be one of the most influential Scandinavian poets of recent decades and was awareded with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Some days back i came across this film by the British director Martin Earle illustrating excerpts of Tranströmer's poem "Schubertiana", enjoy.

  1. oh, this is beautiful. his words are so utterly human and perceptive and the combination of film and animation is gorgeously complementary.

    a wonderful introduction to a new poet.

    and a beautiful day to you, dearest v
