Download or read book The Star By My Head written by Malena Mörling and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in partnership with the Poetry Foundation, this breathtaking anthology features eight of Sweden’s most highly regarded poets. From Edith Södergran to Gunnar Ekelöf to Nobel Prize-winning Tomas Tranströmer, Sweden has long been home to a rich and luminous poetic tradition, notable for refreshing openness, striking honesty, and a rare transcendence that often springs from a keen attention to the natural world. In the poems of The Star by My Head, which begin in the early twentieth century and come up to the present day, pinecones cluster out of reach and lilacs attempt their tentative rebirth each year. A bee makes a face like a newborn’s. A name etched in vapor on a windowpane, and its erasure, brings happiness. With exquisite translations by internationally acclaimed poets and translators Malena Mörling and Jonas Ellerström offered alongside the Swedish originals, The Star by My Head is an essential bilingual volume and the premiere American anthology of its kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the Swedish Colours: A Short Anthology of Modern Swedish Poets, Done Into English Verse Franzen were dead, and the lesser men around them were growing old. Poets continued to appear, but they made less and less impression. Between 1860 and 1870 the decadence of Swedish verse was conspicuous, and many observers believed that it was fatal. The language seemed to have worn itself out, and its facile sweetness to have become mawkish. Of the writers of that time, few are now read or much remembered. Their poetry was orthodox in style and tone, optimistic, commonplace. The best of it was remarkable for beauty of form, and certain pieces have been kept alive, and will probably always exist, by virtue of their delicate workmanship. But these young bards lacked enthusiasm and energy; their pathetic and graceful verses had no force they cultivated, often in compositions of very tri ing melody, what they called idealism, a pretty wilful ignorance of all the facts of life.
