Baltics

Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Swedish by Samuel Charters. In 1974 Tomas Tranströmer published his groundbreaking collection BALTICS (Östersjöar). In this book-length poem, Tranströmer creates a literal and figurative landscape where his family history becomes the psychological and spiritual history of the poet himself. This definitive bilingual edition contains a revised translation, a new afterword and translator's note, and a series of photographs taken by Ann Charters.
