A collection of this much acclaimed poet whose work has been praised by Claes Andersson: Her language has a musicality, a quiet thoroughness and a lustre, as in an adagietto by Mahler. She belongs to a tradition that includes Rilke, Hölderlin, Paul Celan and the great Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf. One feels that Forsström with her discipline and balance has much to teach writers of verse about the distinction between a poem and a prose statement chopped up into lines.""-Poetry Wales

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great poet - unfortunately unknown outside Scandinavia,
This review is from: Snow Leopard (Paperback)
Tua Forsstrom is one of the (or maybe the) leading current FinlandsSwedish poet. Her dense, tightly constructed poetry is not always easily accessible, but always rewarding. This is but one of her collections, well translated (as always) by David McDuff.
