Songs of Something Else: Selected Poems of Gunnar Ekelof - Leonard Nathan - Paperback

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: Selected Poems of Gunnar Ekelof - Leonard Nathan - Paperback' with ISBN 9780691013893 and ISBN 0691013896.
