To Catch Life Anew: 10 Swedish Women Poets

Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Swedish by Eva Claeson. A collection of poems by Sonia Akesson, Kristina Lugn, Barbro Dahlin, Margareta Ekstrom, Johanna Ekstrom, Elisabet Hermodsson, Katarina Frostenson, Eva Strom, Marie Lundquist, and Elisabeth Rynell. "Eva Claeson has skillfully gathered a bouquet of contrasting poems by ten contemporary women poets. In the Swedish landscape she opens for us, there is joy and there is misery, and since the poets are of different ages, they illuminate different aspects and atmospheres of Swedish life, from the nordic light to the long dark winter nights"--Heidi von Born.
