BIOGRAPHY
Tomas Transtromer (b. 1931) was born in Stockholm Sweden and studied psychology and poetry at the University of Stockholm. He published his first book of poetry 17 Dikter [Seventeen Poems] in 1954, yet went on to become a respected psychologist, working at a juvenile prison and later with the disabled, convicts, and drug addicts. Transtromer's poems are known for their unorthodox imagery, a style some say he mastered in his third collection Den halvfaerdiga himlen [The Half-Finished Heaven]. He has published 23 books of poems over the course of his celebrated career and has won many literary awards such as The Aftonbladets Literary Prize, 1958; The Swedish Award from International Poetry Forum, 1971; and The Oevralids Prize, 1975.
