But the whole is what it's really all about.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046788730174617923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16166950.post-78676836904329868902007-02-13T00:25:00.000+00:002007-02-13T00:25:00.000+00:00These are all great examples.

But as someone who has been reading <EM>The Great Enigma</EM> for fifteeen minutes every morning ever since Christmas, as if it were the Bible, I'd like to add that you have to encounter these images in their original context, both as parts of poems and as parts of longer collections, if you really want the full effect. (I suppose that's obvious. Still, there are poets whose genius is for the fragment, whereas Tranströmer excels at writing whole and very satisfying works.)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247772621999650656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16166950.post-86404418936146735102007-02-12T09:07:00.000+00:002007-02-12T09:07:00.000+00:00pearl - you can get both Robin Fulton's translatio...pearl - you can get both Robin Fulton's translations and those by Robert Bly in N. America. I'd go for Fulton. His translations look pretty good to me from what I've read. The book is called The Great Enigma, and is a Collected Poems. <BR/><BR/>It looks as though The Deleted World hasn't yet been published in N. America. Hopefully it will be soon.<BR/><BR/>I've written a review of The Deleted World. If I find a zine to take it, I'll let you all know.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046788730174617923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16166950.post-48709903820138936192007-02-11T21:54:00.000+00:002007-02-11T21:54:00.000+00:00Thanks for showing this.
