Songs of Something Else (Locket Library of Poetry in Transition Series): Selected Poems of Gunnar Ekelof - Gunnar Ekelof - Hardcover

Translators Leonard Nathan and James Larson present seventy-five poems from Gunnar Ekelof's middle phase (1938-1959), a period that saw the production of his richest and most enduring poetry. With fewer than a third of these poems previously available in English, this volume illuminates the work of a poet acknowledged to be in the first rank not only of Scandinavian poets but of European poets of this century. During the two decades presented here, Ekelof established himself as a central figure in the Swedish lyric, while at the same time the lyric was playing the central role in Swedish literature.Nathan, Leonard is the author of 'Songs of Something Else (Locket Library of Poetry in Transition Series): Selected Poems of Gunnar Ekelof - Gunnar Ekelof - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780691065113 and ISBN 069106511X.
