(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Stillness of the World Before Bach (Paperback)
This is the best book of poetry I've read in years (excepting perhaps Paul Celan). Gustafsson is deep, tender and surprising. And not always easy to comprehend. Having stumbled on this book, I'm here on Amazon to find other work by him.
