When I first started this review, my thoughts were entirely negative. The poetry was pretentious, overwrought, the kind of poetry that made me think I would never enjoy poetry when I was younger. I started flicking back through the poems to validate my annoyance with it, but then to my surprise started to 'get' some of the poems a bit more. I wouldn't go so far as to say enjoy, but I understood and appreciated them the more I read them, and I realised I'd been speed reading a lot of them previously as I just wanted to finish the book.
I learnt a bit about myself and poetry in this little reading experience. I enjoy poetry that's straightforward and speaks to my heart. I'm not into poetry that requires me to 'figure it out'. I switch off; I lose attention.
Anyway, back to Tranströmer, I respect the abilities he had as a poet, but he's not for me.
3 stars - respectfully not for me.… (plus d'informations)
